AC Milan technical director Paolo Maldini expressed his great satisfaction with the team’s qualification for the quarter-finals of the Champions League and discussed the road the Rossoneri had to reach this stage of the tournament for the first time since 2012.
“There is a sense of satisfaction and pride. We’re happy with how far we’ve come. Before the game we talked about our journey and how we got here. Obviously, we cannot be considered a stable player in the last eight. Definitely not yet.”, he said.
“However, we are here and we will fight because you have to take advantage of the opportunities you get. We need to remember what happened to us in January. Once again I felt those thrills that Milan gave me in the past, because tonight was a real achievement. I have to admit we deserved it, the boys deserved it.”, Rossoneri legend added.
