AC Milan is likely playing its last cards of the season in an attempt to secure a Champions League spot tonight at 20:45 at San Siro against Lazio, in the 27th round of the Serie A Enilive campaign. The Rossoneri must secure all three points after the defeat against Bologna, but above all, because almost all their direct rivals have obtained positive results.
Before the match, Lazio head coach Marco Baroni spoke to DAZN. Here are his full statements:
Baroni, is the Champions League dream still possible?
"It's still a long way to go. There are strong teams getting back on track. We know that today is an important match and a lot is at stake, but at the same time, the players are prepared. We want these kinds of matches—they are opportunities for growth."
What kind of match should we expect?
"We must never stray from our game. They have a lot of physicality and great quality. We need to work as a team, with cohesion and fluid play. We've always done that, and we'll do it today as well. It's a high-profile match. We're facing a top-level opponent."
Castellanos is out—what do you ask of Dia?
"Castellanos is fundamental for us. Many players in this team have scored, and we've created goals more as a team than through individuals. We attack together, Dia just like Tchaouna. We need to trust them. They're young players who need these matches to grow."
