Massimiliano Allegri highlighted the impact of the unexpected front two, saying Nkunku and Loftus-Cheek are “players of enormous quality.” The coach noted that their movement and link-up play allowed Milan to play with more depth and control possession, turning a potential weakness into a clear strength for the evening.
Defensive discipline and the push for the Champions League
Allegri praised the team’s defensive performance after taking a 3-0 lead, stressing the importance of not conceding as Milan chase a top-four finish. He also emphasised the need for improved ball management and the long-term objective of accumulating more points to secure Champions League qualification.

The win came in the absence of key attackers, underscoring Milan’s squad depth. Allegri suggested the break will help the squad recover and hopes to have more players available for upcoming fixtures, reinforcing competition for places as the season reaches a critical phase.
