Matri can't celebrate breaking AC Milan duck

AC Milan striker Alessandro Matri had mixed emotions after scoring his first goal for the club.

Matri struck in defeat to Parma.

"The goal was important for me, but in the end it didn't count for much as we lost," said Matri.

"The goal looked good to me and let's hope that it'll unblock me mentally.

"When I came on the pitch, I wanted to change the game with my teammates. I got the goal but not the result…

"Now we want to get back as soon as possible. We'll analyse the match on Monday and we'll prepare for Wednesday's game.

"There's a lot of disappointment, but the squad is solid. We're not getting the results, but the most important thing is the togetherness of the team and that's where we'll start off from.

"Time will be the judge."
