"This loss is hard to swallow. It was a game that we could have managed better, especially because, most of all in the first half, we had done very well. We made mistakes," Motta said on the club's official website.

"It definitely went well in the first half, with a tight defence, with each one of us knowing exactly what to do, with everyone helping out on field. Then our performance declined a little, but it's not that AC Milan did a lot. Their first goal came out of a strange situation and the second on a long ball."

Motta then expressed his frustration with referee Nicola Rizzoli's display as he felt the official didn't have the best of games.

"I spoke many times with the referee about it, I didn't understand. He kept repeating that he also booked them, but that's not the point. Every time we protested it was a card, but in football you can also foul forty times and perhaps nothing happens at all."
