“The reality is that we lost. There are many things to talk about, although I won’t talk about some. We did a lot of good things in this game, it’s not necessary to do miracles for me to praise the team. I’m in a lot of pain.
I am proud of the players. Not surprised how we played, that we could win. But we need to improve. We have to come back here next season and win.
We were better in the eleven-on-eleven game, although we lacked determination in the penalty area. The Bernabeu is scary, but we were close to winning. Imagine, and we had one less player. We lacked determination.
Pate Siss was very important for us in this game. Sometimes excess energy leads to such situations. Though I’d rather see him removed for that than for anything else. Eleven on eleven we were better than Madrid, I say that again.
I expected extra time to last a long time, but I saw that my team defended quite well in the box – it didn’t feel like they could score against us,” said Perez.
