AC MILAN boss Sergio Conceicao walked out of his Champions League press conference after just ONE QUESTION.

The manager was less than impressed after the 1-0 defeat to Feyenoord on Wednesday evening.

The Italian giants were beaten by their Dutch opposition in the first leg of their Champions League play-off.

Igor Paixao netted the only goal of the game within just three minutes and was a constant thorn in the side of Kyle Walker.

Milan’s frustrating evening appeared to have got the better of Conceicao as he arrived for his post-match press conference.

Reports have claimed that he was left waiting for 15 minutes before being allowed to enter the press room.

It’s been reported that this was down to a lack of “availability” of the players and staff from Feyenoord.

He was asked about expectations from the match, gave his answer and walked out of the room.

He said: “We knew what the atmosphere was like, how aggressive they were, we knew it.

“Matches definitely become easier if you win duels. We entered the match with a chance for Tijjani Reijnders, then we conceded a goal.

“Well, things happen. It wasn’t a lucky match. We should have done more.

“We had the chances to at least equalise.

“But that’s enough now, I waited 15 minutes to speak and now I’m leaving.”

Walker, who endured a torrid night, also spoke to the press and insisted that the team can recover from the loss.

He said: “We can turn it around… We have to learn from it.

“It’s not just the forwards – all the team needs to contribute to score goals.

“It’s a two-legged game so we’re disappointed but we look forward to the game at the Stadio San Siro.”
