CEO Beppe Marotta was also happy: “A derby in the quarterfinals would be exciting and suggestive. We congratulate the coach and the players on a goal that the club has been missing for 12 years. Then we’ll think about the draw and what will be, will be… In the quarter-finals there are all very strong teams. Be careful because the Champions League is a tournament, it’s not a championship and you have to come on the right night. There are many components that can weigh in”. A parenthesis on the fans is necessary: ​​”Thanks to those who supported us and were able to enter the stadium. Tomorrow we will make a complaint to UEFA to understand what happened: a thousand fans remained outside and it was a serious matter, which it must be repeated. I saw families with small children crying outside Dragao. It was really bad. There had already been a confrontation this morning and we had been reassured by the police. UEFA is not guilty, but certain episodes must be avoided in the future”. Final again with compliments for the nerazzurri and for Inzaghi: “The coach has suffered a lot of unfair criticism because we still have three important objectives that we can achieve. With the commitment made tonight we can go further. The discontinuity has conditioned us and weighed more compared to last year, but these are situations that the coach has tried to cure. Today we are happy and this qualification for the quarter-finals rewards the work of the club, the coach and the group”.
