Sid Lowe was at the Estadio de La Cartuja tonight, and his report has landed. Here it is. Thanks for reading this MBM. Nighty night.
Steve Clarke talks to Viaplay. “I’m disappointed for the players … a really good performance … Spain know they were in a game … the game turned on a small margin … but we created some good chances … disappointed tonight, but we’re still in a good position … the players reacted OK … we coped reasonably well with the pressure … you can show the McTominay goal as much as you like but we’re not getting it … the second goal put an unfair shine on the game because we didn’t deserve to lose 2-0 … I don’t think we deserved to lose, to be fair … certainly in my tenure, going away to pot-one teams, you lose, sometimes heavily, so we’ve come here and lost, but it was a game, a proper game between two good teams … we wanted to do it tonight in front of the magnificent Tartan Army but we’ll have to wait … this team is improving and improving and improving … tonight is another step forward even though it’s a sore one … but we get ready for November.”
