good playing problem proved results score
We have good results away so far. And we proved that we don't have any problem to score even when we are not playing at home.
ball control finalist last level minutes played realistic terms
Two minutes from the end, we should have been more realistic and more efficient. We were on level terms with last year's finalist and played the better football. For the (second) goal, the ball bounced back when it could have bounced out. You can't control things like that.

created few happened last maybe milan occasions played scoring win
I can't be too disappointed because we played well, maybe better than our opponent. We created more scoring occasions than Milan but we didn't know how to take advantage. It all happened in the last few minutes. We had the win in our pocket.
best means players
I'm downcast and the players are downcast because even if we weren't at our best we had the means to go through.
