“It’s a huge pity to emerge from this game with only a point, that’s for sure. After a game like this, we tell the players that we must continue playing like this," Milan manager Stefano Pioli said after the game against Roma.
"But that match ends at the 95th minute and you have to stay focused throughout. “If you concede two goals on set plays, where we knew our opponents were very strong, that means more focus was needed.
"It’s difficult to talk to the team at this moment, as we played well and until the 87th minute fully deserved to win, but then rather made life difficult for ourselves.”
The last meeting between Lecce and Milan in a league game was on 22 June 2020.
Milan emerged as 4-1 winners against Lecce in a match which was played at the Stadio Comunale Via del Mare which is also known as Stadio Ettore Giardiniero.
