Here at the Olimpico, we won the Italian Cup, which allowed us to be here in the Europa League. That win against Milan is indelible, something destined to remain forever, and now we are here after a beautiful journey in the groups and playoffs.
We were confident we'd prepared well for the match. We were coming off a good win and had approached the game well. However, summing up everything we've seen today and recently, we're not managing to play two high-level games in a row, with great concentration, with the same solidity that we once had at such a high level. Now every slip-up costs us dearly, we're a bit light at the back, and they hurt us.
Bologna head coach Vincenzo Italiano emphasized the emotional significance of the upcoming Coppa Italia final against AC Milan, aiming to create history for the club after 51 years.
