What is your evaluation of this game?

We thought we played a great game and the performance we saw on the pitch was the result of our hard work. To leave with a regret after being equalized in the last few minutes, but to still regret a draw against Real Madrid, is a testament to our ambition and what we are building together.

You adopted different tactics in the second half

We know that when Real Madrid is behind, they will press hard. They have world-class players who can easily break through the defense. When formulating our game tactics, we take into account the opponent's breakthrough and try to block all spaces to keep the opponent away from our goal. We are used to this situation and have to adapt to this type of competition. In this regard, the team played very well.

You responded very well

Real Madrid is good at reversing the score and suppressing the opponent near the goal. We've known all week that if we drop too far back, we're going to struggle.

Please talk about Real Madrid's second goal, when your nose was hit and bled

Vinicius rushed up and wanted to shoot, and I fell to the ground to save the football, but due to inertia, Vinicius probably hit my nose with his knee. It was just a moment in the game. Unfortunately, Bellingham scored afterwards, but that's part of the game of football.
