Stefano Pioli, the manager of AC Milan, has believed that his team can still win the match in the second leg after losing the first leg by a score of 2-0 to Inter.
Edin Dzeko and Henrikh Mkhitaryan scored two goals for Inter early on, giving them a commanding lead going into Tuesday's return leg at the San Siro.
However, 16 years after their previous triumph in 2007, Pioli hailed his team's tenacity in their quest to continue on pace to win the European Cup for an eighth time.
We'll attempt to perform better in the second leg, he said, according to Amazon Prime Video. In my opinion, they won the second balls and tackles. Both tactically and mentally, the game didn't go well.
"We must begin with the mindset of the second half." We had the opportunity to restart the game.
We will have to perform completely differently than we did tonight. The boys are currently experiencing disappointment but are also aware that they could turn the second leg.
Fikayo Tomori, a former Chelsea defender, maintained that Milan was still in the game.
Yes, it is apparent that we are disappointed. Simply the way we got off to a bad start by giving up two goals so quickly,' Tomori told BT Sport.
'It was challenging, but this is just the first game. We must not let our guard down.
Naturally, we're upset since this was the home leg in front of our fans and we hoped to take a good result into the second leg, but we know if we play with the appropriate intensity, we can cause them a little bit of trouble.
Since the 1994–95 season, Milan had not lost three times against its neighbors in a single season before the defeat to Inter.
Before suffering back-to-back losses, 3-0 in the Italian Super Cup and 1-0 in Serie A, Milan won 3-2 over Inter in Serie A in September.
Milan, the Italian champions from previous season, have only won two of their last six domestic games and, with four games remaining, are currently just outside the top four in the rankings.
