Ambrosini: Tie not decided yet

Massimo Ambrosini has warned his Milan colleagues that Barcelona are not yet out of their Champions League clash, despite a first leg defeat to the Rossoneri.

A defensive-minded Milan ran out 2-0 winners on Wednesday evening to stun a Barcelona side in this first leg Last 16 clash at San Siro.

“It was a game we had to play like this,” explained the Italian captain of his side’s approach to the game.

“We were very careful and allowed Barça very little. It is only the first half of the tie, as going there thinking we’ve done something definitive would be a terrible mistake.

“It was a great achievement, but we have to consider the 180 minutes. We’ll enjoy this evening, then think about the derby [at the weekend with Inter].

“Of course if we had lost 3-0 then we’d have less chance of qualifying, so naturally we have a chance.

“I dedicate the win to all of us for the year we’ve had and our start to the season.”
