Igor Paixao forced the winner of Home Feyenoord while taking a 1-0 total lead in this round 16 play-off draw.
Leao said afterwards: “We didn't have the same grit and aggression that Feyenoord did.
“We were not at the level of this competition. I too had the chance in the first half where I was unable to get the best out.
“Now we have to go home, rest and see what we didn't do well today. The second stage is in San Siro for our fans, while Feyenoord is really helped by the home crowd. It was not a good performance, we have to study what went wrong. “
He also said: “There are no apologies, we had to be as aggressive as they and win all the duels.
“Now the game is over, we have to do better next time. We must have the right attitude for an important Champions League -similar game that we did not do today.
“If we do that, with the quality we have in the side, we will win the competition.”
