"Lazio won a game where we had more difficulties compared to Saturday, as we misplaced passes a few times in the first half to gift chances. It was a static match, whoever broke the deadlock would win it, and we didn't take our chances, whereas we conceded on a corner where we could've certainly defended better. It was a moment when we were in control of the game, we made three or four cheap errors, giving away free kicks and corners."
"No, absolutely not. Look, it's right to be angry, because an elimination in a knockout round is disappointing. But on the other hand we have to look forward, we have two Serie A games before we go to play the Supercoppa Italiana."
AC Milan were eliminated from the Coppa Italia in the last 16 after Mattia Zaccagni's 80th-minute header secured a 1-0 win for Lazio. The result came five days after Milan beat Lazio and the Rossoneri still top Serie A on goal difference ahead of Napoli. The match produced few clear chances, with Lazio registering 0.55 xG and Milan 0.97 xG. Allegri described the defeat as disappointing but stressed the need to look ahead to two Serie A fixtures and the Supercoppa, citing misplaced passes, defensive lapses on a corner and cheap errors as areas to improve.
