AC Milan director Paolo Maldini addressed the hundreds of fans who had gathered outside the club’s headquarters to thank the team.
The Rossoneri’s ultras put on a display of pyrotechnics outside Casa Milan, celebrating the team’s return to the Champions League for the first time since the 2013-14 campaign and also a second-placed finish; the team’s best since 2011-12.
Maldini then spoke to the fans, with his comments relayed by MilanNews: “Thank you guys for your support over the years, I can say it both as a player and also as a manager. This is only the beginning, it is a target achieved, but it is a starting point, not a destination, there will still be more. We faced them I think in the right way. We are Milan and we must be protagonists. Thanks again.”
