The Red Devil considers the qualification of Kevin De Bruyne’s partners to be indisputable, while explaining what his teammates lacked. “They pressed us a lot from the start, without letting us go out with the ball and they put a lot of people to lock us in our area (…) They felt very comfortable and they scored. We struggled to get into the game.”

“A very hard defeat”

“We have to review the images because it is not easy to see the match from the cages. We took a long time to make mistakes, the second balls were for them and we missed a lot of easy passes (…) The way of losing was the worst. You can lose a match in extra time or on penalties, 2-1 or 1-0. It can hurt if we gave everything on the pitch. But it is a very hard defeat. We should be proud of the path we have taken so far. It’s hard to fall before the final, but we lost against a great team. In the Premier League, they are unstoppable. It wasn’t our best game and if we’re not at our best, here’s what happens.
