"We conceded the first goal, but we kept playing, the whole team. And then in the second half, we lacked more determination in the final passes or crosses. This is a time of the season where I ask all the fans to show the same energy. I understand the boos after this draw because Milan fans always want to win, but there comes an important moment of the season where we all have to stick together."
"It was a match we had to win. In my opinion, we played much better than the last game against them. In the first half, we could have been more incisive in front of goal. There are so many games. Serie A is becoming very difficult, and you never know who's going to win every game. Today we wanted to win, but now we have another one in a few days, and we'll try to win. Then we'll see."
Rafael Leao scored his eighth goal of the season with a 25-yard lob over Jean Butez after Ardon Jashari's chipped pass, earning a late equaliser. Milan pressed for a winner but drew, leaving them seven points behind Inter with 12 games remaining and denting title prospects. Leao acknowledged boos from some supporters and urged the fanbase to unite and maintain energy during this crucial phase. He noted the team played better than in the previous meeting but lacked incisiveness in the first half and determination in final passes and crosses. Leao emphasized there are many matches left and the squad will focus on the next game.
