Davide Calabria was very honest in his post-match assessment and this is something that Stefano Pioli was asked about during his press conference. As a newspaper highlights this morning, there is some tension there.

Calabria spoke to Prime right after the game (read the interview here) and didn’t hold back. He said that Milan were ‘very unbalanced’ and also made it clear that anyone who doesn’t want to work hard in the last three games can stay at home.
As highlighted by today’s edition of Gazzetta dello Sport (see photo below), some tension emerged between the Milan captain and head coach Pioli. The latter clarified in his presser that Calabria ‘was wrong’ in his comments, perhaps referring to the bit about the players working hard.
“We often lose clarity after the games, what we prepared during the week we put into play against PSG. Davide was wrong, no one works at Milanello with little attention or little availability,” he stated.
It seems some of the players experienced the game differently than the manager, which is far from ideal. The tactics will have to be a lot better in the return leg or the outcome will be the same.
