Quote:The Rossoneri risked throwing away a 4-0 first leg lead when they were trailing 3-0 at half-time, but held on to that result in order to reach the Champions League quarter-finals 4-3 on aggregate.

“The first half went badly and they punished us on every single incident,” said Mexes.

“After the break we were finally able to pass the ball around and we were consequently less afraid.

“This must never happen again. After a game like this, we have nothing to celebrate. We want to progress in the competition, but must do better, even if we got through to the next round tonight.”

He has my absolute RESPECT.Rossonero

Earned huge respect for his performance last night. Still not Nesta's heir for me, but I was glad to see such character from him.

What impressed me the most was how he kept his cool through entire the game, even when other lost it.

If he keeps performing like he has been playing with Milan until now and stay away from injuries, Milan defend will be covered for the next couple of years even Nesta is retired.

If Mexes is serious, he is world class. His problem is he can't keep the persistence.
