What they Said

Brighton & Hove Albion.png

โ€œWe had our best period for the first 20 minutes, and I felt we should have capitalised at that time, but the second goal was the one that finally killed us.

โ€œThe South Americans have always snapped up their chances and that has been the big difference.

โ€œThe Juventus game is obviously going to be a very difficult one, but we are not afraid of it. We have got a realistic chance of winning the European Cup again."

Tony Barton.
