"I don't think there's any debate. Let's just say that Como and Fabregas are doing a great job, they're fighting for the Champions League. They've done a very good job in such a short time, so we can only congratulate them. Then there are times when you play well and times when you play less well. For us at Milan, it's important to get results through performances, which can be good or bad."
"Rather than truly congratulating his opponent for the win, Fabregas gave a bitter press conference, referring to the number of passes his team made and the fact that 'individuals' won the game for Milan. Considering the performances of Mike Maignan and Adrien Rabiot, perhaps this is hard to deny. However, it still leaves a sour taste in the mouth, which has only been furthered by Como fans, who displayed a banner against Allegri in favour of the Spaniard this weekend."
Initial mutual compliments between Cesc Fabregas and Massimiliano Allegri gave way to friction after their match. Fabregas issued a bitter post-match statement highlighting his team's pass count and claiming 'individuals' decided the result. Strong individual displays from Mike Maignan and Adrien Rabiot underpinned Milan's victory. Como supporters amplified tensions by displaying a banner backing Fabregas and targeting Allegri. Allegri maintained a conciliatory stance ahead of the next meeting, praising Como and Fabregas for rapid progress and Champions League contention, stressing Milan's objective of securing Champions League qualification and calling the banner "folklore."
