"The mental aspect of football is incredibly important. Today I can't talk about AC Milan, but about my players: they arrived here very motivated, after a difficult week. They responded with unity, as a great group, as if we were all pulling together. We played against a strong team, scoring a lot and creating a lot. It was nice to suffer even at the end."
"You learn every day. A unique magic has been created in the dressing room. I hope I'll have the opportunity to continue with this group next year because they've given me so much. He played an incredible game, extraordinary both technically and when he wasn't in possession. He marked Ricci and then attacked in his favorite areas. I'm happy he scored."
"He's an important player for us. But we all put in good performances. Even the last few were excellent from the team, but we weren't very clinical and focused up front. Atalanta seemed to know how to hurt Milan..."
Atalanta defeated AC Milan 3-2 at San Siro, ending Milan’s hopes of a positive response after earlier setbacks. Atalanta scored three times in under an hour through Éderson, Zappacosta, and Raspadori, taking control early. Milan later reduced the deficit with a Strahinja Pavlović header and a Christopher Nkunku penalty, but the comeback came too late. The result leaves Milan in fourth place, with Juventus moving above them and points level with Roma, making the top-four race precarious. Palladino emphasized motivation, unity, and the mental side of performance, praising Raspadori’s overall impact and noting the team’s creativity while acknowledging a lack of clinical finishing at times.
