Jude, a disappointing night for you guys out there. What didn't go Real Madrid's way?
I think, to be fair, from the first minute they probably just took control of the game. We never
really maximised the spells that we had in possession, you know, when we got the ball back.
I think we probably tried to force the counter-attack a few too many times and
turned it over so much that they managed to keep control. Defensively, they kept us in a place
where we couldn't really harm them as much. I just think they were more up for it than us,
to be honest, which is really disappointing to say. It's a bad result against probably
the best-performing team in Europe. It's no disgrace to come here and lose, but we are
disappointed in how we performed. The important thing is we use it the right way now. We've got
three games left in the group and it's important that we go and try and win all of them to give
ourselves the best possible chance in the standings.
When Kylian Mbappe gets that opportunity from the penalty spot and he's standing there,
I'm guessing as a team you're all expecting him to put that one away?
Yeah, it's obviously a big moment in the game, but it can happen. He's a wonderful player,
but the pressure that he holds because of how good he is is huge. It's humongous.
The penalty is not the reason why we lost the game. As a collective, we weren't good enough
on the night. They performed better than us and it's as simple as that. Kylian can keep his head
high. I know for sure that he will produce many more moments that are huge for this club.
