Good night!

Milan director Paolo Maldini has been talking into a microphone after tonight’s game.
The season is not over, as we must try to qualify in the top four in Serie A and we’ll see what happens to Juventus,” Maldini told Sport Mediaset. “Reaching the semi-final was a great achievement and unexpected, but naturally if you lose against Inter then it will make this seem more painful than it otherwise would’ve been. We must remember this journey was totally unexpected.
“In the last four games there really wasn’t much of a challenge. This game was better, but compromised by the bad performance in the first half. Perhaps the way Inter play causes us problems, but in recent weeks we have been struggling against teams that are frankly less prestigious and strong.
“I would say eight [out of 10 for the season]. As we said last season, we are not yet built to handle two tournaments. We said that to the media, but also to the club owners, so they know that full well. This journey stated four years ago, which took great results, both economic and sporting, built a young foundation to the squad and there are roughly three years difference in the average age of our squad to Inter’s and that lack of experience tells at this level.
“You are never satisfied at Milan, that is not allowed. I think there are opportunities to take, so reaching the Champions League semi-final is something we must make the most of economically too, so invest to finish in the top four and hope to repeat this journey again.”
Maldini did have some good news over Leao’s contract.
We are truly just down to the smallest details, it will certainly be done, that is for sure.”
