"In the second half, it was a different story: we increased the intensity, they dropped a bit deeper. These are the things we need to mature on. In the course of a season, there are these kinds of games where, by the 91st minute, you have four minutes to play for the win against a team that is in great psychological difficulty at that point."
"You need to create a couple of dangerous situations by bringing the ball close to the penalty area, without exposing yourself to a counter-attack that put us in danger of losing. It's a lesson in maturity we need to learn. To finish in the top four, points are very important."
"In football, you get what the result gives you. You have to look at the positives, despite a difficult first half. They ran, man-marking Modric, we had two or three favourable opportunities to score. Then we conceded."
Milan required a win to keep pace with Inter but were held to a 1-1 draw by Genoa. Lorenzo Colombo opened the scoring in the first half against his parent club. Milan registered over 30 shots and sustained heavy pressure for much of the match, yet Rafael Leao salvaged a 92nd-minute equaliser. Genoa then missed a late penalty after a foul in their box. Match observations note a difficult first half, improved second-half intensity, and a need for greater maturity to create chances near the box without risking counter-attacks. Points remain crucial for a top-four finish.
