AC Milan midfielder Samu Castillejo explained his tears after victory over Hellas Verona.

He earned a penalty and then his cross was deflected for an own goal by Koray Gunter.

“My tears said it all about the period I went through and am still going through," Castillejo told Milan TV after the 3-2 win.

“I am someone who tries to give his all on the pitch. Yesterday it felt like nobody wanted me here, today I can celebrate with the fans in my home of San Siro."

The Spaniard added: “It's a difficult situation for me, it has not been an easy time. My family is far away, I really miss them, but destiny meant that I stayed here and tonight showed me why."
