We Are Better Than Real - Maldini

Milan captain Paolo Maldini says his side are better than Real Madrid, despite their 3-1 defeat at the Bernabeu.

"I don't know how many teams can come here and dominate," he was quoted as saying on the club's official site. "I think it's quite normal to suffer their attack."

"In the first half we were not determined enough, but Milan must be given credit to have qualified early for the next Champions League stage. We are better than Real Madrid, we can't forget it."
