Franck Kessie says Milan ‘proved we were at their level’ after two pretty even legs with Manchester United, but the focus was always Serie A.
The Rossoneri had no forwards available to start, as Zlatan Ibrahimovic was only fit to play 30 minutes, so Samu Castillejo had to play as a False 9.
Paul Pogba confirmed Manchester United’s strength in depth, coming off the bench to take advantage of a Soualiho Meite error.

“We are very disappointed, because we knew that we could’ve done it. We didn’t make the most of the advantage from the first leg, because we should at least have drawn 0-0 here and reached the quarter-finals,” Kessie told Sky Sport Italia.
“At this level, you pay for mistakes. We should’ve cleared the ball earlier and they made us pay straight away.
“We fought to the end, we proved that we were at their level, but now we have to focus on Serie A.
“The top four position was our objective at the start of the season and it remains our main target. We can do it.”
