"We have a strong group with good players. The coach has brought us experience and created a great atmosphere. The substitutes were important, like Ricci, Fullkrug, Nkunku, and Athekame. And also Estupinan. If he hadn't given that ball to Modric, the cross for 1-0 wouldn't have arrived. These are details, but they're important."
"Our goal is to return to the Champions League. This match was crucial to get the three points and finish in the Champions League zone."
"It's a really great match to play. When the week starts, it has a certain weight, even outside Milan. Everyone enjoys playing these games. I ask my teammates to give it their all and take it personally, because it's a do-or-die match."
