He continued: Rudiger was great and we saw the return of Alaba and Asensio in good condition. We are talking about a collective problem, and if we are able to maintain the collective level, we will achieve the desired success and benefit from the superiority we have on the front line.
-The Italian continued: “Bellingham was suffering from a back problem, but it was not a major problem, and I had the opportunity to rest him in addition to Kylian Mbappe, whom I preferred to rest to maintain his condition.”
