MILAN - Here are the words of Carlo Ancelotti after Milan-Juventus 0-0:

"This evening there were numerous fans at San Siro, too bad we weren't able to please them from the point of view of the result, because we did very well and the team gave it their all. We were a bit tired from our Champions League match against Benfica, but in the second half when Juventus slowed down a little we got better and did quite well.

Perhaps the fact we didn't have all our strikers available perhaps penalised us, especially in front of the San Siro crowd. In our next home game we will have Pato available and by that time we'll hopefully have one more Cup in our collection. There were some dubious episodes, like Gilardino's offside position, he was level with the Juve defender, but it's certainly not an easy decision to make at that moment. The reference point should be his right foot, not his left, looking at the images from behind it doesn't look like offside to me.

Tuesday night there is Milan-Celtic, a match that must give us the mathematical certainty of finishing first in the group so we will have a better calendar for the eighth finals."
