Kaká hails Euro Milan Kaká was pleased with Milan’s performance against Catania, which saw the Rossoneri qualify for next season’s Champions League.
The San Siro outfit was held to a 1-1 draw by the Sicilian outfit on Bologna’s neutral turf and failed to finish many scoring opportunities, but can now focus on the Champions League Final with Liverpool.
“I think we played a good match today, especially in the first half,†said Kaká.
“Both sides were affected by the heat today, but we managed to do well. We were not that effective after the break, but I think that’s normal considering the heat and the fatigue.
“Now there is the game with Udinese, but we have reached our objective for next year’s Champions League preliminary round and this allows us to focus on the Final. We achieved an important result.â€
Teammate Filippo Inzaghi was also happy with the result and eager to play the most important match of the season in Athens on May 23.
“I honestly thought that the goal I scored was valid, but the important things is that we qualified for the preliminary round of the Champions League next year,†said Inzaghi, whose goal was ruled out for offside.
“We hope to do well in Athens. The heat held us back a bit, but we played a good game. Now, we will be playing for the big one in ten days,†concluded the world champion
