Milan were defeated 3-0 by Lille in the Europa League, their first loss of the season. Coach Stefano Pioli commented to Sky Sport afterwards to give his thoughts after giving up his unblemished run to begin the season: "We thought we could have a dangerous match against a fast team and once we went behind we gave up just a bit too much: the scoreline is harsh, they punished us for each of our errors."
"The next step is to analyze the performance, there will be some negatives to look at. We weren't at our best but the opponent is tough. I was very prepared for the match, we didn't underapreciate them at all, we didn't have the right attitude, we committed some mistakes. I thought maybe that the lineup changes would be best able to execute and in the first half we held our own, but we were unable to produce the good results that we usually produce."
