It was the “perfect” night for Milan, who always looked comfortable after taking the lead through Kevin Prince Boateng.
“We played a perfect match, especially in defence,” said Allegri. “We played very well as a team, we didn’t give them any goalscoring chances. We deserved this night, this win. It’s the best game we’ve played this year.
“We could have scored more and it’s a pity, but we have a good advantage. However, in London we need to play as a good a match as we did tonight. We have to play another 90 minutes and it won’t be an easy match especially as they have nothing to lose.”
