Suffering: “You know you play against a great team, which has a lot of power offensively. Champions League games are different from League games. We started well, but we couldn’t calm down. We didn’t counterattack well. We lost a very stupid ball, it was 0- 0. They make us a two against one… A pity, but it is open for the second leg”.
Final strike: “It’s very hard. If you can go 0-0 to the Bernabéu, even better. We still have to win. We know we have to win and hopefully we can do it with the support of the public”.
self exhibition: “In games like this, you know that as a goalkeeper you’re going to have work. It’s a hard blow, but we have to keep going. On Saturday we have a very important game”.
Messi’s penalty: “We had studied a lot. For Barça and for what he has done here. It was playing with him down the line and going to the left. It was good to keep us in the game.”
Casemiro and Mendy sanctioned: “It’s a shame they can’t be there. We have a complete team. Mendy’s foul wasn’t yellow, he had no intention. The referee was very generous today with the yellow ones. We’ll have to give it our all”.
Mbappe’s goal: “I have stopped some of them. His latest action is of quality and class. He is one of the best in the world.”
Casemiro: “It’s an honor to talk about a player like Mbappé”
loss analysis: “It was a very nice match. We both have a lot of quality. We lacked a bit of precision in the counterattack passes. We knew it was going to be complicated, they push a lot. In the end it is an individual action of a player”.
Madrid endured until the discount: “What we have worked and endured… Courtois saved a penalty. This is football. You have to be effective to win games.”
Call to the Bernabéu: “We have a great squad to win titles. Whoever plays will do their best. We ask for the support of their fans, the Bernabéu is our home, we want to impress the public”.
What has to change?: “Score a goal. We suffered and worked well. We lacked the goal and the pass to start the counterattack. Whoever scores wins games.”
Mbappe: “We are tired of talking. For football lovers, it is an honor to talk about such a player, of great quality, of great talent. I wish him the best of luck.”
Mendy, on his yellow card: “I know there’s a foul…”
it’s time to row: “I think we weren’t very good in the first half. In the second we managed to discover ourselves a little and find ourselves a little more. They had a lot of action and we managed to hold on until the end, but we conceded a goal in added time and it’s very annoying. They managed retain the ball and find space. It’s up to us to reverse the trend.”
will not play the return: “I knew that if he showed me a yellow card, I wouldn’t play the second leg. I know there’s a foul even if I got the ball earlier, I put in my leg well.”
