00:00 "Well, I think we started the game really well. We were dominant, we played in the opponent's
00:04 half, we generated some momentum, scored the first goal and then it's the critical moment
00:09 of the match. Ben White is in front of Neuer to make it 2-0 and we have to put that ball
00:14 in the back of the net and then it becomes a different moment. And then in Champions
00:18 League you cannot give anything to the opponent. We have given them two goals today and when
00:25 you have these situations they are going to punish you. And that's the biggest lesson.
00:30 The margins are very small in this competition. It's really difficult to penetrate the opponent,
00:35 to create big quality chances against this level of opposition. Make sure as well we
00:40 don't give anything. But I think the team showed a lot of composure, especially after
00:46 2-1 because you can throw your toys away and generate a lot of spaces for the opponent
00:53 and lose the tie in 20 minutes. We haven't done that. I think the subs made a huge impact.
00:59 I think the way they came on the pitch, their body language, their attitude, the initiative
01:03 that they took to make things happen made a big difference for the team."
