Massimiliano Allegri, head coach of the Italian football team "Milan," commented on the team's failure to qualify for the Champions League.
Idman.Biz reports that the "rossoneri" lost 1-2 to "Cagliari" in the last - 38th round of Serie A on their home field.
"Milan" started the game well and opened the scoring in the second minute. However, the team failed to maintain their lead and did not even gain a point in the decisive match of the season. As a result, the Milan representative finished the championship in fifth place, remaining outside the Champions League and qualifying for the Europa League.
Allegri harshly assessed his team's performance:
"If you lose five matches at home in a season, you don't deserve to be at the top. We started the game well, but then we thought the matter was already settled. That's why everything fell apart. The team defended very poorly. A similar situation occurred in the games with "Atalanta" and "Udinese." It is difficult to explain this."
The experienced specialist said that being out of the Champions League seriously disappointed him:
"Not getting into the Champions League is very infuriating and disappointing. The second half of the season was unsuccessful - we lacked psychological stability. But I have no complaints about the players. The tournament table does not lie - we got what we deserved."
It should be noted that "Inter", "Napoli", "Roma" and "Como" won tickets to the Champions League in Serie A.
