Milan's coach Steffano Pioli expressed his disappointment with the missed opportunities of his team "Al Nasr" in the match against Iranian "Esteghlal" in the round of 1/16 finals of the AFC Champions League. Both teams created attacks, but could not score a goal in 90 minutes, with the match being decided on penalties for the entry into the quarter-finals.
Pioli noted: "I am satisfied with the players' game, but we could have scored. We still have an away game, and we must prepare for it." The coach also highlighted the absence in the lineup of the Portuguese star Cristiano Ronaldo, explaining that he had received a minor injury and could not travel with the team to Iran.
Pioli emphasized: "We had more chances to score than Esteghlal. We are focused on the next match and will strive to show better football." The coach also mentioned that their team had six clear chances to score, but did not capitalize on them. "We need to prepare for the next match," concluded Pioli.
