What they Said
โWeโll give it a go [scoring at least two against one of the best defences in the world] because you canโt disregard any possibility in football.
โBut Iโm obviously disappointed.
โWe were caught sleeping for both goals, and against a team of this calibre you canโt afford to lose concentration for a second.
Tony Barton.
