‘The light is on’ at Juventus stadium as Lecce defeat Milan

The sky was lit up with orange and blue lights at the Juventus Stadium when the team came to Turin to face AC Milan on Saturday night. 

“It was a good night.

It was a beautiful night.

There were fireworks and we danced the night away,” Juve captain Daniele De Rossi said. 

The Nerazzurri’s win was the second straight in the derby and a first since Juventus won their last league game of the season in March. 

Lecce will be hoping to build on the momentum they created at the end of last season. 

They had to win their opening Serie A fixture in the home of Lazio to make the semi-finals, and they were beaten 4-0 in Turin. 

But in the last 16 of the competition, Lecci had two key goals in their 2-0 victory over Milan, while Andrea Ranocchia netted for the Bianconeri. 

Juventus will be without midfielder Luca Antonelli, who is out with a thigh injury, while Milan’s Alessio Romagnoli is also out with an ankle problem. 

Milan coach Massimiliano Allegri was delighted with the way his side responded to the first leg defeat. 

“(Lecci) had a wonderful game and his first-half was very impressive,” Allegri said.

“We created a lot of chances and they didn’t concede any. 

I am delighted with this result. 

In terms of the way they defended, they had a very good performance. 

Their performance was very good. 

It’s a great feeling to beat Milan.” 

Milano defender Gianluigi Donnarumma was one of the first players to take the field for the first time in the second leg after recovering from a calf injury. 

He came on for Lecchi and added: “It was my first game since I have recovered. 

This will be a difficult game for us but we will be ready for it.” “

I’m happy to be on the pitch again and I hope I can help the team. 

This will be a difficult game for us but we will be ready for it.” 

 Milans manager Alessandro Del Piero will be aiming to make a strong start to the second half of the campaign with a home match against Lazio. 

Del Piero said: “We are not disappointed with the result but the result has been difficult for us to accept. 

We played against a team who scored the same number of goals as us. 

If we win tomorrow, we will win the league. 

So, I think we are disappointed but it is a good start for us.”

I think we need to keep going and see what happens.” 

The Bianconese have not beaten AC Milan since they beat them 3-2 in October 2007.
