Marcelino’s Reflection on the Match

In his post-match comments, Marcelino remarked, “This is football, and I feel we’ve experienced several UEFA Champions League games like this one.”

He continued, “We ought to have secured our win in the first half, but we allowed the game to remain open. We had our opportunities, and their goalkeeper made crucial saves at important moments.”

Concerns About Defensive Performance

The coach added, “Our performance in the UEFA Champions League hasn’t been convincing. We’ve allowed nine goals at home. I have no complaints about the team’s effort, as we’ve generated numerous chances while they’ve created very few.

“In this tournament, being decisive is essential; it ultimately decides the outcome.”
