Carnesecchi told Sky Italia: "Today we played a great match, we saw an excellent defensive phase. We found our physical form and we all play football for these nights.

"We are close to Retegui, he is strong and a really good guy. A missed penalty must not affect him."

In the first half, Carnesecchi pulled off an impressive save to deny Arsenal attacker Bukayo Saka.

He continued: "It was important, but I want to compliment my teammates for the defensive phase. I reviewed last year's defensive phase, it is a really important point for us.

"These nights I dream about as a child, I come from a very humble family and I dedicate this debut to them and to my teammates. I am very happy. This result will allow us to face Como in the best possible condition."
