You had to have the timing.” “We did not reproduce the small errors from the first leg (0-3). As we had demonstrated that we knew how to create chances. It was enough to be more killer in the area, in the last gesture and the last pass. The efficiency this evening was there and above all an enormous generosity”, he continued before highlighting the state of mind displayed by the Milanese: “We were united. I’m done but it was worth it. »
