El Shaarawy explains how Roma were able to knock out his former club Milan

Thursday night’s defeat to AS Roma will have several implications for AC Milan on several fronts, and following the fixture, former Rossonero Stephan El Shaarawy spoke about Roma’s game plan for the fixture. 

The Rossoneri came into the game with a one-goal deficit, and with a strong line-up, there was a mixture of hope and expectation about the fixture. However, the game did not proceed in the way that Milan would have expected or hoped, going two goals behind in the first half.

After a red card and an early second-half goal, perhaps the hope returned slightly, but the Diavolo failed to recover their position in the game, and the Giallorossi are now in the final four of the competition.
