Stefano Pioli, AC Milan coach, after the 2-1 victory against Paris SG: “It’s football. We lost against Udinese last Saturday (1-0 at home, Editor's note), we had a great match in terms of football played in the first half. If we want to compete at the highest European level, we have to play at this level. I expected this type of reaction, I know my players well. On a mental level, they responded, we showed that Saturday's defeat was not normal. We are a strong team, a team that has a lot of cohesion and mental resources. We now have to get back into the championship. Rafa (Leao) showed that he has a lot of qualities, he will have to watch this match again several times, what he did this evening is very strong (...) I didn't say anything to them especially since the defeat against Udinese. What made the difference was what they said to each other, but again, I expected them to react like that.”
