We deservedly won, playing an excellent match."

"Miraculous performance thanks to Messias' goal? I would remove that term, 'miraculous'. It seems that Messias is here by chance when it's said like that. Messias is here because of he deserves to play for Milan. He is late, but he will prove it to everyone that he deserves this. Now we throw ourselves back onto the Serie A competition, we have two games to play carefully, you need great balance and great humility to face the rest of the season."
