When asked for his opinion of Milan's performance, he said: "I'm sorry that we conceded a goal in injury time and this is something that can't happen in games of this level.
"We put our heart into it and gave a good signal after the ugly showing against Juve.
"On the other hand, there was a great team [in front of us] and the only disappointment is in not having won the game with great determination."
