Alberto Giuliani (Valsa Group Modena): “It’s a shame to have lost this match, we did a lot to play the final at home, but we weren’t able to express ourselves well and Milan deservedly won. We made a lot of mistakes, we weren’t able to give continuity to our game and we ended up falling back into the usual mistakes, the tension of the one-off match certainly played a role”. Paolo Porro (Allianz Milano): “Today we were good at leaving everything behind, we knew it was the last match of this group and it went well. I’m happy to have played in a great team. Great in its high moments and also in its lows. I thank the club so much and I’m also very excited. I spent four years in Milan and I received so much. Allianz will remain an important part of my career, four championships, wonderful people that I hope to see again. I thank everyone from the president to the staff, I won’t mention names because I would risk forgetting someone. I’m really happy for this latest achievement”.
