Quotes
“The match had two parts: one part, until the 30th minute when we got the red card and we played 30 minutes of great character," Milan manager Paulo Fonseca said after the win over Udinese.
"We were close to what I want from this Milan. After the red card it was a match of team spirit. We suffered together and if anyone has doubts about the team’s unity, today we showed unity and team spirit. And this is the most important thing.
"I am very satisfied and the players who came on were decisive, also working for the team. True, we suffered but against a team like Udinese, who are good and make a lot of crosses, it is normal to suffer. I am very satisfied.”

Milan were held to a 2-2 draw by Bologna in their last league meeting which was played on 27 January at San Siro.
