Coach Pioli was interviewed by Milan TV at the end of Milan-Red Star:
"Suffering until the end, it was a hard-fought match, we weren't lucid in managing the advantage. I think it can do the team good."
On Red Star:
"They did well in the first leg and return, we had scored to get back in the lead and we were not able to exploit that. We recovered a lot of balls but we weren't precise in our passes."
On the result:
"The goal was to pass through. The team was aware that they had not played their best game."
On the positive aspects:
"We had a lot of determination, we worked as a team. You can play at a better technical level and we will try to do it already in the next match against a very strong opponent."
