“I don’t know who or for which reason, but we are a young club for the Champions League. It could be that we lose some games.
“Maybe we should do better because we didn’t play well against Ajax, but when we were 1-0 we had two incredible chances to score the second goal. I think in that competition, when you have a chance, you need to score and close the game.”
