The Brazilian found Wednesday’s defeat hard to take but remains confident that his side can beat Atletico Madrid in the return leg.
Kaká was a lively figure in the Champions League quarter-final first-leg at the San Siro as the Rossoneri created a number of chances to go ahead before being punished for their profligacy in front of goal by Diego Costa’s late header.
“Of course we were left with a bitter taste in our mouths, because we gave a very good performance, with the right spirit. Unfortunately, we did not manage to score,” Kaká told reporters after the game.
“We created a lot of chances so we are disappointed, but also confident we can still secure qualification in Madrid.”
“In my opinion, the qualification is still open, even if I admit it will be very difficult.”
“We must win in Madrid, against a great team like Atletico, but looking at our display tonight I think we have a good chance of doing it.”
Clarence Seedorf’s side will travel to Madrid’s Vicente Calderon stadium for the second-leg on March 12.
