What happened in that phase of the game?
We were imprecise on time, we had the opportunities to break them through, we gave the ball away when we regained the ball, we gave it straight back and then they had momentum in deep which
They're going to do at times because, as I said, they are really good on that.
And then, yeah, without really creating nothing, they scored the first goal out of nothing and three minutes later the second one.
There are a lot of things and it's not the moment to talk about that.
Which I am.
That will be the headline from that, I guess.
I will do it again because he deserves to play this game and he's been phenomenal for us.
And that's it.
Errors are part of football and anybody can make them.
Do you think the weight of necessity, expectation, they're used to winning, you're trying to make a breakthrough, does that play any part today?
I don't think because if not, I think I would have said it in the first half and that didn't happen.
We had great incredible eight incredible months together two days of disappointment football is part of that and then we have to work and improve and use that fire that we have in the belly right now to have two amazing months at the end of the season Thank you Mikel Thank you Thank you
I had a gut feeling that it was a moment for him and probably it's because he doesn't seem to be fazed by the occasion or the moment or the context of the opponent.
He makes decisions to make things happen and what he delivered was incredible.
I've seen a lot of players with talent but at 16 very few that can cope with that level of demand.
As your colleague said, let's come down to earth today and enjoy the moment because it was intense and it was worth it.
