The Croatian player referred to the penalty of Julián Álvarez in the batch that did not use because the referees saw two blows to the ball and valued Madrid as a “overcoming machine.” “We win that it is incredible. I have not seen this play, it seems bad luck. It’s football, bad luck for Julián. We, happy to spend, again the epic of this team, is a surface machine, I stay without words,” he said.
“Maybe with this goal they tried to wait any longer. If they don’t put the goal, they may press more. The game was ugly, they were alone waiting. There were not many holes. We have controlled the game. We can be happy with how we replenish, it is not easy to start the game losing 1-0,” he added.
On the other hand, Modric pointed out that Madrid is “at a good level” and undoubtedly “reinforced” with the “worked” ticket to the quarterfinals. “We are at a good level, sure, thus winning reinforced.
