“We did not deserve to fall like this”

Joaquín Sánchez, captain of Real Betisonce again left the door open to remain active for at least one more season after being eliminated in Frankfurt in extra-time stoppage time for a Guido Rodriguez’s own goal. After the match, he was questioned by the Movistar cameras about whether this could be his last game with Betis in Europe and he answered the following: “I don’t know, God willing that I don’t”, responding with an expressive “correct” when the journalist told him He commented if he left the door open to continue being active.

Joaquín left upset by the way how the elimination came about: “The feeling is bad because we didn’t deserve to lose like this. The team has tried and we are very sorry to lose in this way. We are still alive in two competitions and we are going to fight until the end. We wanted to go through to the quarterfinals and continue in the Europa League”, said the portuense.

“On we deserved the extra time 0-2. They have had their chances but for much of the match we were better and we didn’t deserve to lose like that. You leave more sore when you fall like that. They have congratulated us because we play extraordinary football. The team has done a lot of things to be in the next round. Falling like this at the last minute is sadderbut we think that something nice awaits us and hopefully it will be soon”, wished the Verdiblanco captain.
