Milan won the quarterfinals 3-1 on the night.
“First of all, we must congratulate Milan on their remarkable quality, especially the way their attackers constantly move,” Ranieri told Sport Mediaset.
“That means we don't regret it, we are just aware that we lost a great team. We tried everything, we put them back to the end of the first half, we got the bar and that was the moment we should have made like, but instead we gave a goal that we are very similar to the previous one Let it go against Milan.
“It can happen if you push so hard that something goes wrong at the back. We had told ourselves not to give this time a counterattack, but it is easier said than done when it is confronted with that quality level.
“I would always like to have a fast vertical pass, but it is also not easy for these guys to have three coaches in one season, each with their own ideas and the players who try to follow those ideas.
“It is true that we were not successful today, we did not find Dybala before he was marked by humans and we made some mistakes, so Milan helped a great performance.”
