“Diego Milito is a great striker and he has this amazing ability to move the ball around.
“But this is our seventh win in a row between the League and the Champions League. We are doing really well and we need to continue like this.
“We started the championship well but we didn’t adapt to playing every three days and we didn’t manage to keep the intensity. Now though we are finally seeing the light.
