"The Coppa Italia doesn't interest anyone until the round of 16, but once the competition starts to move forward, everyone is rightly interested. We'll have to play a good match, it won't be easy because we're playing away. There won't even be extra-time, so we'll have to make the most of the 90 minutes we have, against a team that has the same objective as us."
"We'll find a great atmosphere, as always, in Rome. We're playing Lazio in the Coppa Italia round of 16: it's an important objective for both teams. It will be a great match against a tough team, as we saw on Saturday. It could be a good solution, but we shouldn't decide that - there are competent bodies. We have to focus on playing and doing the best we can. Pulisic is available, Fofana isn't, and we hope to have him against Sassuolo."
AC Milan head coach Massimiliano Allegri confirmed the Coppa Italia as a target and revealed that Youssouf Fofana has picked up an injury. Milan travel to Lazio in the Coppa Italia round of 16 seeking a quarter-final place; Milan last won the trophy in 2003 while Lazio have won it four times since. Lazio were furious at a denied late penalty in their recent Serie A meeting and ultras have threatened a hostile atmosphere. Allegri avoided a press conference, spoke to SportMediaset, commented on a VAR-screen proposal, and confirmed Christian Pulisic is available for selection.
