Silvio Berlusconi of AC Milan in La Gazzetta dello Sport:
"Molti complimenti ad Allegri, ha saputo interpretare molto bene la filosofia del Milan e dato seguito alla missione che la società gli ha affidato regalando un grande risultato alla società."
"Many complimetns to Allegri who knew very well how to interpret the philosophy of Milan and following the mission of the club, he presented a great result to the organization."

«Allegri merita un 10, è stato lui l'artefice di questo successo».
*** Quote of The Week ***
"Max Allegri deserves a 10/10. He was the artisan behind this success."
Rino Gattuso of AC Milan was interviewed by RAI Sports after the game in Rome:
"I'm just a Southerner and a little ignorant." (When asked if he was the symbol of the team.)
Richard Whittle of Al-Jazeera was quoted by Roma24.it from an interview with Sky Sport on his now-famous quote about Francesco Totti:
Bello che Totti abbia fatto questa maglietta?
"Sì, è una cosa incredibile, non pensavo che nella mia vita potessero accadere queste cose, emozionanti perchè secondo me Totti è uno dei più grandi giocatori italiani e del mondo. Io sono nord-irlandese e per noi George Best è il massimo, Totti è il George Best italiano."
Was it great that Totti created this tee-shirt? ("The King of Rome is not dead.")
"Yes,
it was an incredible thing. I never thought in my life that these
things could have happened. It was very emotional because in my opinion,
Totti is one the greatest Italian players and also one of the best in
the world. I'm Northern Irish and for us, George Best is the greatest.
Totti is the Italian George Best."
Francesco Totti of AS Roma returned the favor in a quote at il Corriere dello Sport:
«Il re di Roma non è morto e non morirà mai».
"The King of Rome isn't dead and will never die."
Roberto Baggio complimented Totti in a quote with il Corriere dello Sport:
«Faccio i complimenti a Francesco: aver segnato 206 gol è un grande risultato. Non importa se mi ha superato»
"I compliment Francesco for having scored 206 goals which is a great result. It doesn't matter that he overtook me."
Andrea Agnelli of Juventus rewarded Alex Del Piero with a contract extension and hailed the Juve icon in a quote with il Corriere dello Sport:
"Con Alex ci conosciamo da quando è arrivato alla Juve. Me lo ricordo nella prima tripletta contro il Parma, in cui indicava il compagno che gli aveva servito gli assist. Ha dimostrato di incarnare la vera juventinità».
"With Alex, we've known each other since he came to Juventus. I remember his first hat trick against Parma in which he thanked his teammates for making the assists. He has demonstrated to embody the true essence of Juventus."
Alessandro Del Piero of Juventus with a final career wish in a quote with La Gazzetta dello Sport:
"Sì, me la sento di continuare ad essere il capitano della Juve. Voglio vincere nel nuovo stadio uno scudetto".
"Yes, I feel like continuing to be the captain of Juventus. I want to win a Scudetto in the new stadium."
Note: Juventus will play in the refurbished Delle Alpi stadium beginning next season.
Antonio Di Natale of Udinese in a dismissive quote with La Gazzetta dello Sport:
"Siamo in lotta non solo con la Lazio, ma anche con la Roma e ci aggiungo pure la Juventus. Ma sono solo in due a meritare la Champions, la Lazio e noi, non certo i giallorossi e la squadra di Del Neri."
"We're in the running not only with Lazio but also with Roma and even Juventus I might add. But only two deserve the Champions League, Lazio and us. Surely not Roma and Delneri's team."
