In the first round of the UEFA Europa League quarterfinals, AC Milan lost to city rivals Inter Milan by a score of 0-2, and a reversal of the victory in the second round almost became a luxury. The only ray of hope for the team was the return of Portuguese striker Rafael Rio. However, Ismail Binasha, who left the game injured, was caught limping away on crutches at the end of the game, suspected to have suffered a serious injury, and the chances of a comeback a week later became very slim.
Raffelio missed the first leg due to a muscle injury, but is expected to be back for the second leg. The game was a tense affair as he sat on the sidelines watching the game alongside Ibe. However, when AC Milan fell behind 0-2, Rafferriao was caught covering his face with his hands, seemingly struggling to cope with the defeat. After the match, AC Milan manager Pioli commented on the game: Inter Milan played better in the first half and scored two goals. We improved our performance in the second half, but failed to score. However, I believe we have the ability to get back in the next round.
