Stefano Pioli

"This is a decisive moment for our European ambitions. We must show our quality on the field and give our all. I am confident because I know the qualities of my players, and I know that when it comes to crucial matches, they know how to handle them. We need to do many little things better than in the first leg."

Daniele De Rossi

"Milan will fight with all their might. This is their last resort; they want to win and achieve one of their goals for the season. It won't be easy for us. The first leg was quite balanced, perhaps it went a bit better for us. Milan won't change their tactics much, but neither should we overthink our game plan."
