AC Milan coach Cristian Brocchi proud of players in Coppa final defeat

AC Milan coach Cristian Brocchi was proud of his players in their Coppa Italia final defeat to Juventus.

Alvaro Morata came off the bench to decide the 1-0 result in extra time, but overall the Rossoneri had the better of the game and more chances.

“Nobody could say Milan did not put in a strong performance this evening," Brocchi told Rai Sport.

“I saw the right attitude, I saw something of mine in the team and their performance, but am also so disappointed by the result.

“It was decided by a single incident. We had plenty of chances and could've done better in our finishing, but that's the way it went.

“It was a counter-attack, they went really rapidly and we were a little uncovered, but I don't think it was anyone's fault. We could've intercepted the counter earlier."
