AC Milan's head coach, Stefano Pioli, in the pre-match press conference spoke to the media about the team's mood and what the real problem is for his team this season. Here are his words:
"The mood? We suffered a strong disappointment; we wanted to do better and reach the final. There is disappointment. However, we are ready for tomorrow; we must react like a great team. The Champions League objective is important. Now, all judgments should be suspended until the end of the season because reaching the Champions League is too important."
"Why haven’t we seen the same style of play as last year? I disagree. This year, we have increased control and dominance in matches; we have fallen short in the final quarter of the field. That’s been our original sin, and it’s a serious one.”
