Recall that AC Milan are seeking to bounce back after last week’s 3-0 defeat in London.

“After Chelsea I was angry and I wanted to give everything on the pitch (for victory over Juventus), then I scored and I felt this feeling: I was excited and happy. I wanted to cancel the London game and scoring was a good one feeling.
“It was a bad game for us, we didn’t play as usual as I am used to seeing in the last year and a half. But we managed to react positively, playing a an excellent match against Juve. This allowed us to ward off the defeat against Chelsea and we are here tomorrow to take our revenge.
“I always do my best in every match; last week I didn’t succeed, but football always gives you another chance and we will try to make the most of it tomorrow: certainly we will show that we can do much better. We don’t need motivation: we will certainly push harder.”
