I was angry and disappointed just like them, so at these moments it's best to stay silent. There is a disappointment for the boys, for the club, for the fans, but this is a particular moment, both for the physical condition and for some important absence. We made different choices than usual, pressing less high to have a better grip at a distance and played a game with a good level. Right now, however, we lack  brilliance and without that brilliance, it becomes more difficult to beat man, which our players  are usually used to doing easily and finding other solutions."

 After this game fans are unhappy with Ronaldo as he did not take 3rd penalty of the penalty shootout.
