Quotes

" It was important given the moment we were going through. I think the players showed a lot of courage and we deserved the win. I don’t remember seeing a team that caused this many problems for Inter in a long time.
"We know that we must improve, but this was a victory for the players today."

Milan hammered Lecce 3-0 in their last meeting in Serie A which was played on 6 April at San Siro.
