Quotes
"We discussed the atmosphere and this is the first time I've experienced this in my career. Mistakes weigh heavier under such conditions," Milan manager Sergio Conceicao said after his side's defeat to Lazio.
"I was a player, I know when it's like that, your boots feel like they're burning. When a dribble or a pass doesn't work or you're behind, it burns even more.
"It is not an easy moment. The players feel the tension around the club. The only way forward is to work hard, take pride in our colours, and strive to change the situation."
Head-to-Head
Milan secured a 3-0 win over Lecce in their last league meeting, which took place on 27 September at the San Siro.
Therefore, Rossoneri are undefeated in their last 13 matches in Serie A against the Yellow and Reds, having registered five draws and eight wins.
