Dias, who unfortunately sustained an injury in the 84th minute, expressed uncertainty about its severity but reassured fans that he would undergo tests to determine the extent. Ancelotti downplayed concerns, suggesting it was likely a blow rather than a muscular issue.
Jude Bellingham, whom Dias replaced in the lineup, showered praise on his teammate, expressing admiration for the important away win and affectionately calling Dias “brother.” The camaraderie between the two players was evident, with Dias reciprocating the sentiment and acknowledging Bellingham’s uniqueness on and off the field.
Dias, who spent the last two years on loan at Milan, took a moment to express gratitude to the Italian club for playing a crucial role in his career development. Reflecting on his time in Milan, Dias stated, “I want to thank Milan; the loan to them was an important step for me in my career. I was very happy there, I still follow Milan and always will.”
