Meeting Highlights…ABOUT MATCH
It’s a bad start but not finished. That seems to me to be lucid regarding the result of the first leg. However, we will play our luck to the fullest tomorrow. In any case, we will try to create the conditions from the start of the match to get it going. We will then take stock at half-time between us to see where we will be.
…MUST TRY
We don't think about the number of goals to catch up but how to make the match exciting and try to have a part of the irrational. It will take madness, if we propose something conventional, very calculated, I think we won't succeed because they are stronger than us. If we take them on another path, maybe we can create a different atmosphere. We will have to get off to a winning start and score first to take the stadium a little further with us. We know that we will have a strong and experienced opposition but we will try to build our history.
…APPROACH
I don’t feel like my legs are heavy. That there may be a little fatigue is normal but when you win matches, you recover more quickly. Psychologically, it's much simpler, there is joy, good humour, a lot of positivity. It makes recovery much easier. Tomorrow, it will certainly be an intense Champions League match, we will have to respond to it. We will have the same Sunday, let's answer the first one already.

Stefano Pioli
Manager on Milan…ABOUT MATCH
We already analysed the last match, but I said that despite the advantage we must play as a team to maintain it.
…TURNOVERS
I don't like the term, there's management. We have to play a lot and I choose a single match. I did it like this on Sunday, I'll do it like this tomorrow and next Sunday.
…CRITICISMS
We expect something different from them compared to Wednesday. They will certainly make an important start. We work to get results, anything goes. If you coach a great team and don't get results you are criticised, not It's a problem.
