Manuel Pellegrini’s statements:
 
“It wasn't just Madrid’s merits; we also gave them a rebound goal the minute after Kedhira scored. Doing that with Madrid is fatal.”
 
“They’re games of 180 minutes and the qualifiers are open.  We could have got a better result and I believe that we weren’t good enough with the ball.  In the first half we had chances to try and resolve the game, with Ruud and Seba's shots, and to sentence it for good.”
 
“I’m not satisfied leaving with the qualifiers open, nor with the result.”
