In the last round of the Champions League group stage, "Milan" lost 1:2 away to Zagreb's "Dinamo," which did not even manage to qualify for the tournament's knockout stages.

After the match, the Italian coach Sergio Conceicao sought the reasons for the failure.

"It is clear that the gross mistakes made during the match did not help us, but it should be noted that my players lacked even the most basic fundamentals of football in the first half of the meeting.

In sports, the most important thing is aggressive duels both in defense and in attack.

No one is immune to mistakes, but we need to try harder," said the Portuguese.

In the first knockout stage, "Milan" will play against either Rotterdam's "Feyenoord" or Turin's "Juventus."
