We didn’t play well and Milan were better. The problem is not only in one part of the team, but in the whole game – said Luka for UEFA and added:

– We have to be better as a team, more united on the field and try to find solutions because right now we look like we are divided. I mean it in the sense that we are too far from each other. We must return to what has been our greatest strength all these years.
