What they Said
"We have to accept this defeat.
“We played a very competitive match for 90 minutes. Sometimes we were defending compact. Sometimes it was a medium or low block.
“We knew before the match what difficulty we would face. I think the players responded fantastic. We created good chances on transition. In the second half they started pushing and getting corners, but we defended well.
“We got a very good opportunity through Marcus Rashford. When the draw was going to be a good point for us, I pushed the players to get one opportunity to win the match.
“The substitute players got a good impact, but they did the same and they scored. We had some corners and opportunities to get into their box, but it was not enough.
“Now, our mind changes so quickly. We are separating this competition until next Saturday against Fulham. We now focus on Crystal Palace in the FA Cup Overall, I am proud of what we are doing.
"It is a key moment in the Premier League. My idea against Manchester City was to compete and win, getting close to the level we are achieving.”
“We conceded late against PSG because they have huge quality. Today is the same. I am happy, overall very proud of what we are doing, accepting this defeat.
“We played the match I expected in my mind before. In the last 15 minutes we tried to win the match. In case we got one point, it would not have been enough.”
