The Old Lady progressed to the knockouts thanks to a 0-0 home draw against Atleti.
“We prepared the game well and played against a great side with a lot of Champions League experience, reaching the Final last season. I think we did well,” the Frenchman told Sky Sport Italia.
“Atletico Madrid kept tight and there were few spaces, so I tried a few times from distance. Everyone knows they are strong defensively and we tried, but the aim was to qualify and we are very happy to have achieved it.
The Bianconeri finished second in Group A, so will take on one of the group winners in the Round of 16.
“We are playing to go forward and that means facing the strongest teams in Europe. It’s what we want.
“With the team we have today, we can go far. We also know that we have to give more and games are not easy, so we must give 120 per cent. 100 per cent isn’t enough.”
