Quotes
“We played with intensity, energy and a certain amount of quality. It was a game we should at least have taken a point from," Milan manager Stefano Pioli said after his side's defeat to Atalanta.
“There are absences, but we played the game, especially in the first half where I felt we were better than Atalanta, but didn't take our chances. We were naïve after the break and you pay for those errors at this level, we absolutely must improve these for the following matches.
“If I had ended 2-2, I would've seen many positives from this performance, but we wanted to give a sense of consistency to our results. We need to reflect profoundly on this, because we were in the game, but our opponents did better in the penalty areas. It is not the result we wanted."
Head-to-Head
Milan emerged as 1-0 winners over Monza in their last meeting in Serie A which was on 18 February 2023 at the U-Power Stadium.
Rossoneri boast of an unbeaten record against the White and Reds in the league having won their two meetings.
