Quotes
“I feel sorry for the fans; they came here in large numbers and deserved a different attitude from the team," Milan manager Paulo Fonseca said after the draw against Parma.
"I am responsible; I think we collectively and individually had the wrong attitude. It’s not acceptable to allow Parma to create so much and concede a goal on their first opportunity.
"There is a defensive problem. Offensively, the phase creates, but the problem is defensive.”

Millan emerged as 1-0 winners over Lazio in their last league meeting on 1 March at Stadio Olimpico.
