Sid Lowe was at the Bernabeu this evening. Here’s his report. Thanks for reading this MBM. Nighty night.
A livid Thomas Tuchel speaks to TNT. “We were almost through … almost there … a very unusual mistake from our very best player for the equaliser … we conceded [the second] in a very narrow decision … then we scored one … a disastrous decision from the linesman and the referee … so it feels almost like a betrayal because of that decision … we left everything on the pitch … we have to say congratulations to Real Madrid … the linesman said sorry but that does not help … the referee does not have to whistle … he sees we get a shot away … it is against the rules and it is a bad decision from both of them … it is a disaster … it is tough to swallow … we were not clinical in our counter attacks … we could have created a decisive chance for a second goal … the team gave everything … we did it together … we left everything on the pitch … it is sport and you have to expect the result in the end.”
