Pioli commented on the match of the derby that ended in a loss for the Rossoneri 2-1. This is what he had to say:
"We are sorry to have gone out, we were keen on the competition. The race told us that we can keep up with a very strong team, having ten left has complicated the situation."
On the bickering of Ibra-Lukaku: "It influenced the game, the first warning caused the expulsion. They are adults. I don't know what they said, it can happen, you have to get over it and think about the next one."
On the expulsion:
"In ten it became even more difficult, we became a bit naive about the penalty foul. It is a good performance, I come out of this defeat very confident about our future."
"The difference was only the fact that there were ten of them left, in eleven against eleven it was open to any result and we were ahead."
On Ibra's foul:
"He got a bit caught up in the desire to help the team, he could slow down the race a little but he can stay."
