âOur fans and our players. We had a very good Champions League campaign, we gave it our all and went much further than anyone normally expected. Itâs a shame. We deserved better in the first leg and today, at the very least, to have forced extra time, which might have given us another chance.â
âIn the first leg, we already had chances to score and didnât take them. Here, in the second half, we improved, got more into the game, played in their half and had opportunities. All those little details that sometimes go your way. This time, they didnât go our way.â

âThe Griezmann incident is very obvious. We initially thought (referee Daniel Siebert) had made the right decision. Iâm not going to focus on it, I donât want to, because that would be making excuses and I donât feel like doing that.â
âIt makes no sense to talk about that clear penalty on Griezmann. It doesnât make sense to talk about it now. Sometimes refereesâ decisions can be good for us, sometimes not. Tonight, we were unlucky.â
