Milan coach Stefano Pioli was disappointed with his team after the defeat by Liverpool.
At one point, everything was in their hands, the lead against the weakened Liverpool, great support from the stands, and an open path to the knockout phase of the Champions League. And then it all fell apart.
“We knew that this group was incredibly difficult, as well as tonight’s match, but unfortunately we did not manage to keep a high enough pace. We have made too many mistakes, which are costly at this level. That cost us the European spring. We did not have experience for a competition like this “, said Stefano Pioli and continued:
“We have seen what kind of opponents exist in Europe, what kind of quality and focus is needed, so we will learn from that. Our goal was to stay in Europe, but we will try to learn from this experience and continue to grow. This is really disappointing, but it will help in the growth process. We need such experiences in order to be stronger in the future “, pointed out coach Pioli.
Strange but true, many Rossoneri fans are a bit happy that their team ended up at the bottom of the group and will no longer play Europe this season. That means they can now focus on the Scudetto race.
The Italian coach pointed out that he also had a conversation with Klopp:
“We talked about everything. It took Klopp several years to invest before he came to this level with Liverpool. It’s a process. I say, we must use this experience and continue to grow. We can only thank our fans for the great atmosphere and support. “
