Photos: Milan players react to Newcastle win on social media – “Great effort in a tough game”

AC Milan held up their side of the bargain by beating Newcastle United away from home last night, bu it wasn’t enough to seal progression to the Champions League knockout stages.

Milan went into the game at St. James’ Park knowing that they needed to win and hope for a favour from Borussia Dortmund who in turn had to beat Paris Saint-Germain. While the Bundesliga side led, they ultimately had to settle for a draw and thus the Rossoneri finished third.

Below are the reactions of the players on social media…

Leao: “The goal in the Champions League was to get through but unfortunately it was not possible. The European dream continues. Glad to be back.”
