Here are the statements released by Pioli to Mediaset at the end of the match against Atletico Madrid.
On refereeing: “I don’t think it was his best night, we were penalized a bit. Sorry. The numerical inferiority forced us to play another type of game. Too bad, we came close to achieving a positive result, we are sorry not to have succeeded ”.
On the episodes: “Many situations, not just the expulsion and the penalty. Half-and-half he always went the other way. But let’s look at the good things we did in eleven against eleven. With a little more attention we could take home the victory, suffering and gritting our teeth. We still lacked a little something ”.
On the match: “We played well in numerical parity, with pace and quality. We have materialized less than what we have created. We are a competitive team, but the level is very high and we have to stay inside the games for ninety minutes. We have spent a lot, but we will recover our energies, both physical and mental. From tomorrow we will think about Atalanta ”.
