Yacine Adli has admitted that he and his AC Milan team-mates are returning to Italy with some regrets after they drew 0-0 with Borussia Dortmund last night.
Adli had started the previous two league games against Cagliari and Lazio in a deeper-lying midfield role while Rade Krunic recovers from injury, but last night Yunus Musah took his place and he came off the bench in the second half in a box-to-box role.
It was a frustrating night for Milan, who – just like in the Newcastle United game that opened the group stage campaign – had the chances to win but failed to take them.
Adli spoke to Prime Video after the game to reflect on the performance of the team and how it was to play in an atmosphere like that of Dortmund’s Signal Iduna Park.
“We return home with some regrets, we deserved more and we played a good game. It’s complicated to play here. We struggled in finishing. But now let’s go ahead and play until the end,” he said (via MilanNews).
Milan’s next European game is against Paris Saint-Germain in Paris, the team with whom Adli made his professional debut back in May 2018 and signed his first professional contract with.
“All the matches are tough and there are no easy matches. We knew it would be a difficult group. Paris is my home, I grew up there, but now I want to give everything for Milan. I think day after day, I want to work hard. I’m growing and I play a little more, I don’t have to give up.”
I dont think they deserved more. In hard games like this, in CL, you gotta take those rare chances and Milan has not been able to do that so far. And so 2 draws, 2 points.
If Milan deserved more so did BVB, they played well and created chances. Mike had more works than Cobel
I can confirm u are not Milan fan or u don’t watch the match. Milan had more clear chances than dortmund. Pls go support another team.
ok. off i go. Just one thing before i depart.
Can you tell me the stats for shoots, corners, free kicks and crucial saves pls
I get ur point but the chances dortmund got were from outside the box…giroud losses some close post chance which am still trying to find out how he managed to put it across the crossbar…chukwueze, reindjer.
le Milan est victime de l’immaturité de certains de ses joueurs, (Léao, Reijenders, Théo), face à un adversaire amplement à sa porté. 02 Matchs 04 points perdu !
la qualification s’éloigne… avec AMER…
