Fonseca: "We won because the players had courage and feared nothing, Leao can do even better, it is harder for us to play against Italian teams" | Rossoneri Blog - AC Milan News

"I'm pleased with the result but also the performance," Fonseca told MilanTV. "We played good football, especially in the first half - against a top team. Not many sides can come here and do what we did. In the second half I think that Real Madrid were always going to react. We dug deep together and held on at the end... The whole team understood in that moment that they had to defend together and defend well."

"We mustn't forget that this team were losing 2-0 in their last Champions League game and then scored 5 goals. The game against Manchester City is a reminder of how they turned it around late on. It was crucial for us to understand the risks and respond effectively, especially given the power of Real Madrid to come back in matches."
