Rabiot reveals advice given to younger players and what Allegri asked of the team

Milan secured three points against Genoa after a difficult match that required 100 minutes to decide. Christopher Nkunku and Zachary Athekame scored, and Genoa added a late goal to make the finish tense. The win moved Milan closer to a Champions League place. Rabiot said the team worked well during the week, stayed focused, and handled pressure late in the season. Milan remained compact in the first half, avoided conceding, and expected the game to open in the second half. Rabiot also said older players told younger teammates to ignore outside noise and stay calm, with everyone contributing, including Athekame. Milan now has one game left against Cagliari, where a win would secure third place.

"We worked well during the week, and the training camp went well. We were all focused on the game. We have one game left, there was pressure today, and it wasn't easy to handle at this point in the season."

"We were compact in the first half, and did well not to concede. We knew the game would break open in the second half. That's what happened, and we could have scored even more goals."

"We older players asked the others not to listen to what's being said about the team, to stay focused and calm. We worked well during the week, we pushed hard. We know what we're playing for."

"Everyone, even the younger ones, did well. Like Athekame, who scored a crucial goal. We were all in, we know the objective. Now we have to have a good week and do the same on Sunday."
