Manuel Locatelli struggled to “realise what I’ve done” after his astonishing strike earned Milan’s 1-0 victory over Juventus.
“I still haven’t quite realised what I’ve done,” the 18-year-old said on Mediaset Premium after the final whistle.
“I scored against the best goalkeeper in the world and put us within two points of the leaders. This goal belongs to everyone: my family, my grandparents, my uncles and my cousins who are Juve fans, but for today supported Milan.
“My secret? I don’t know. I’m lucky too. I must continue like this, but always with feet firmly on the ground. This goal is also dedicated to President Silvio Berlusconi, as he wanted me in the senior squad. I can't wait to see the goal on the replay!"
There was also controversy, as Juventus had a first half goal disallowed for a debatable offside flag.
“I don’t know if it was a goal or not, that isn’t for me to say.”
Are Milan now contenders for the Scudetto with Juventus, sitting just two points off the leaders?
“We won the battle, but not the war. We have to take it one game at a time.”
