AC Milan vice-president Adriano Galliani was delighted with their 2-1 victory over Benfica last night.
"In 14 tournaments we have reached eight Finals, so there is a different atmosphere in the air the day before a European game.
"We played wonderful football tonight and the scoreline was extremely tight, as we could easily have won by five or six goals."
Galliani was delighted to welcome Rui Costa back to the San Siro.
"I hugged Rui before and after the game. He had five great years here winning so much together, so it was right for San Siro to give him that standing ovation.
"He is a lovely guy and we met with him before and after the Champions League Final, so our rapport remains excellent."
