Skriniar admits ‘it was tough against Milan’ following Champions League defeat at San Siro

Paris Saint-Germain defender Milan Skriniar has said that it was a tough night against AC Milan on Tuesday as his side were beaten 2-1. 

Speaking after the game to UEFA (via Milan News), the Slovakian centre-back talked about his return to San Siro having left Inter in the summer and the difficulties that he faced during the contest.

“It is always special for me to play here after six years, and it was tough against AC Milan,” Skriniar said.

Skriniar started the game superbly as he headed PSG into the lead inside 10 minutes, but the Milan attack soon started to cause him serious problems.

He eventually got a yellow card when he barged Rafael Leao down as the Portuguese forward was approaching the box, but many fans felt he should have had one earlier in the game for other fouls.

A more stringent referee may well have dismissed Skriniar at some point during the game but Milan were able to win anyway with goals from Leao and Olivier Giroud in either half.
