Statements:

Van Nistelrooy
“It’s a hard defeat because it was tough to draw in a match that they were always in behind in.  We had a lot of position and when we got the draw, and then when we went for more, they got a good goal and they took the match.  There were some details that didn't do us any favours, but we can’t complain about this, rather about our actions.”
 
“We’re not happy about this bad patch.  We’re going to keep working hard as professionals to get out of it.”


Sergio Sánchez
“We made a huge physical splurge, we equalised the first goal, but they then scored again in their third opportunity of the match, and it couldn’t be so for us.”
 
“We had a good opportunity to carry on being where we wanted, but we couldn’t manage it.  We tried and gave it our all on the pitch.”


“We will go all out, giving 200 per cent to try and get the next points that we play for.”
