Milan crashed out of the Europa League this evening, losing 3-1 against Arsenal at the Emirates and 5-1 on aggregate. Gennaro Gattuso spoke after the match: "I am proud of my players. The tie was lost at the San Siro, not here. I get angry when I see that they give up. We must not concede goals because we have no venom. I don't want to talk about the referees errors, just like players mess up so do the referees. I like that everyone is raising their level, but I am very angry about the 3-1, we should not give the perception that we left the field, I do not like to see a vulnerable team. Champions league as the objective? We must prepare game after game with serenity and clarity. I don't want to hear excuses, the tie was lost at the San Siro. Now we must reflect, this is a squad that can still give more, they are young and can reach the level of Arsenal. Donnarumma? I told him to keep his head high. The great goalies and players make mistakes. Just like players miss penalties and shots on an empty goal, one of the best goalies in the world can make a mistake. We talk about Reina, we must leave him peaceful. I have a duty to protect him no matter what happens. Today he made a mistake but we have to look ahead. We have great confidence in Gigio."
