“The game was a shame. We knew it’d be close. We faced a team that defends very well and we knew there wouldn’t be many chances.
“It was a very balanced game and the difference was in the details, and one of those was the goal. But we also had our chances, but if you’re not precise, what happened can happen.”
It was even. They were comfortable with 0-0. It’s difficult to play against Atletico, you have to have patience, keep a clean sheet and wait for your chance. They’re a great team,” he replied.
