"I find it hard to try to pinpoint the one thing that cost us. It's better to look at what went wrong - so many things, really. This is the path we want to take. When you come away from these games, you're very disappointed about the result, but we're also confident we can get points by playing this way."
"I think we made a qualitative leap tonight, but not in our finishing. We played a strong first half against a team that's strong on their home field. I'm struggling to find any negatives. We're very disappointed with the result. Unfortunately, penalties and chances were also missed by a hair's breadth, but the team played in a variety of ways tonight. There are many games within the same game, and we interpreted them well."
"Milan hurt them at the other end not long before the break, with Rafael Leao setting up Strahinja Pavlovic for the only goal in the game. The Rossoneri also fluffed some huge chances to double their lead. The worst thing of all, beyond the penalty, is the injury he suffered on that occasion. We'll see when he can recover, certainly after the break. It's a shame because he was playing like the great player he is, and this is the biggest loss tonight."
Roma dominated the opening half hour at San Siro, generating intense pressure and numerous half-chances but failing to produce a clear, decisive opportunity. Milan scored shortly before halftime when Rafael Leao set up Strahinja Pavlovic for the game's only goal. Milan later missed opportunities to extend the lead and saw goalkeeper Mike Maignan save a late penalty from Paulo Dybala. Roma showed tactical variety and a qualitative improvement in approach but lacked finishing precision. Paulo Dybala's missed penalty was compounded by an injury sustained on the same sequence, representing the match's biggest setback for Roma.
