After a 2-2 draw, Massimiliano Allegri was pleased with how AC Milan defended against Barcelona in their UEFA Champions League Group H clash. Thiago Silva headed in a stoppage-time equaliser to earn AC Milan a draw against Barcelona at the Nou Camp. Milan had also started the match in dramatic fashion with Alexandre Pato netting in the opening 30 seconds.

However, Pep Guardiola's men could not find a third goal to wrap the tie up and they were stunned two minutes into injury time when Thiago Silva motorized home Clarence Seedorf's corner to salvage a point for seven-time European champions Milan. The Italian gave his analysis of the match saying: "We started very well, then later in the game we were forced to defend because Barcelona had possession and it was hard to press them.

"However, we did not afford them big chances to score and we also had a few chances to get a second on the counterattack in the first half."While Allegri believes his side could have played better, the manager believes that it was good that Milan continued to press for an equaliser even late in the game, and was rewarded by Silva's goal as a result.
