"What a disappointment, the first 10 minutes of the first leg were decisive"

Disappointed. Very disappointed. Pioli appeared before the cameras with the eyes of someone who tried to do the feat and left with nothing in hand, after being one step away from the Champions League final.

Lautaro's goal shattered Milan's dreams, as did the Nerazzurro's 2-0 victory in the first leg. "Am I the most disappointed coach in the world right now? Well, it's inevitable. We wanted to reach the final and we didn't make it. It's a shame, but that's how it happened. Those first ten minutes of the first leg were decisive, those two goals compromised everything." .

Pioli underlined the progress. Now the target is fourth place in Serie A. Qualifying for the next Champions League. "We were the youngest group to win the Scudetto, so it's difficult to talk about a negative campaign. Coming out in the semi-finals is a disappointment, but this year there was still something missing."
