Milan's head coach Gennaro Gattuso commented on the defeat of his team in the match against Arsenal (0: 2).

Milan suffered a home defeat from Arsenal with a score of 0: 2 in the first leg of the 1/8 finals of the Europa League.

"We knew it would be a very difficult match. Arsenal, though experiencing not the simplest period, but at their disposal is still a lot of quality players who have used our mistakes, "- said Gattuso.

"We did not play as a team, so every attack was dangerous, we left too much free space for them. Arsenal defeated deservedly.

For many of our guys, playing at this level has become a new experience, so this match will be a good lesson for them ".

"Now we are only thinking about the match against Genoa and only after that we will begin preparations for the return meeting. In football, you can never give up, so we will go to London and leave all the forces on the field. A trip to Emirates is definitely not just an excursion ".

The return match between Arsenal and Milan will be held on Thursday, March 15.
