Adriano Galliani and coach Leonardo after the great joy tell how the team arrived to the feat of Madrid. The club and the group are always united and aware of the project’s strength.

MADRID – At the end of the marvellous win of Madrid, these are the declarations of the club in the words of Adriano Galliani and coach Leonardo: “Great evening, but last night we understood that there was optimism with regards to this game. We often look at Real and see a great team who scores but also concedes many goals. It went well, but we played a great game, no doubt. The team was never satisfied with the draw, we scored four goals in the second half. The goal which was disallowed was valid. The referee mistakes must be accepted without controversies. Pato? He’s a young champion, these lads have highs and lows, it’s normal to expect this from them, but our luck is that Alexandre is our player, our champion. Tonight I text messaged our president who was in Russia, at every result change I sent him a message with all the scorers.” “I think that the coach has his role, his merit, his ability to organize a group and motivate him. However today the win is of the team, it’s clear. Redeeming certain values was an enormous response from all of the lads. Tonight’s win arrived after another win, against Roma. We were born for the 4-3-3 and during this season for various difficulties it was not possible to play it, but then the win against Roma gave us courage. The squad backed my project, we had difficult situations and today it was a game which was too delicate to get it wrong. The president is always very close to us, there have been difficult moments, but the harmony with the club has always been there. I’m happy because Milan never showed signes of not being able to win this game. Also when one goal behind we tried to find the win, this is our real great spirit.”
