Luciano Spalletti complimented Milan on Maradona’s victory. The Napoli coach accepts the knockout at home with sportsmanship: “Milan put in a great performance, started strong, took advantage of all the situations we gave them. They were great when we stretched to use spaces correctly. We played below our level – his analysis to Dazn – and the great willingness of the boys in some cases served to stretch even further to try and get it back. It must also be said that we have not been lucky with the national teams, see the injury in Osimhen”.
Spalletti and the reconstruction of the dispute with Maldini at the end of the first half
Spalletti also explained what happened in the locker room tunnel at the end of the first half with Maldini: “I was returning to the dressing room and asking about Lobotka’s booking and the referee was explaining it to me. He waved by as if to say ‘you always complain’, if anything it happened to them, in fact Pioli was also called back. I didn’t like the fact that he was talking over me, I told him and he reacted a little, but nothing happened on my part, in fact I was sorry, it’s Maldini”.
