Coach of Real Madrid Xabi Alonso commented on the defeat by Manchester City (1:2) in the Champions League.
“We started the match very well, but there are moments when any mistakes become especially painful. The opponent responded ten minutes after our goal.
In that period, we had less control of the game, but later we got it back and held it until the final whistle. We lacked subtlety in execution, but I have nothing to blame the players.
When a team is in a difficult situation and has so many injuries, there is less confidence. That is why the “townsmen” were able to quickly turn the tide of the meeting – they are really strong.
We didn’t miss much, but it turned out to be enough. In moments when everything is not going well, moments appear, but you don’t realize them,” the head coach of Madrid emphasized.
