Maldini after the game:
“There are rules that are open to interpretation, but I wouldn’t focus too much on that or the suspended players for the second leg.
“I want to focus on a great performance from the team and well planned by the coach, especially in the middle of the park. We certainly emerge from this game significantly more confident than we were before.
“We need to be more clinical, as we don’t score enough goals for all that we create. There are regrets at not winning the game, but when you don’t take your chances against a quality side like Juventus, anything can happen.
“We’ll be without Ibra, Theo Hernandez and Castillejo, but we will certainly get 11 players together, so that’s the important thing!”
About the yellow cards:
“When you play at this level, unfortunately, you get caught up in the importance of the game and dive into the tackle. We ask our players to be courageous, to fight hard, to battle, so we can’t complain about that attitude now.
“The loss to Inter could’ve killed us, but we proved immediately that we are back on track and performing to a high level.”
Pioli's comments:
“I told my lads to leave the pitch without regrets. I can say, they will have no regrets. I am very proud of their performance, so are the Milan fans.
“We wanted to get the victory, we were in a strong position to do so, but this is just the first leg and we’ll try to do even better in the second.”
Penalty?
“I got angry first and foremost because there was a foul on Ibrahimovic earlier in the move. Plus I remember the referees showed footage of that Cagliari-Brescia penalty at the start of the season and said it was an error to award it because the player couldn’t see the ball.
“I therefore don’t see what’s so different with this situation, as Calabria couldn’t see it. Alberto Cerri, in that situation, jumped and could not just cut his arms off, you have to use your arms when jumping. He didn’t have time to get his arms back into position.”
