Thibaut Courtois openly reflected on Liverpool’s superiority after Madrid’s defeat at Anfield, the third of five games Ancelotti’s team has conceded in the Champions League stage.
“At the moment they are one of the strongest teams in Europe and it is always difficult to play here. We played well, we fought well, we defended well in the first half above all. Offensively, things did not go well for us and We have It’s difficult to make a risk. We had good counterattacks but we couldn’t identify them well, in the last pass or the last dribble and that’s difficult,” commented the Belgian in the mixed zone.
“In the second half, they went 1-0 quickly, we had a chance to equalize with a penalty that we didn’t get and we kept trying, but at 2-0 it was difficult,” analyzed Courtois.
We lacked a little play, in the second half we were better. Obviously there are no missing players, but we never use that as an excuse. We are who we are. We had a good match but we lost to a good team. It will be difficult for us to get into the top eight, but we have to win the three remaining games to qualify,” said the Belgian, worried about Camavinga’s injury.
“Maybe there’s a hole you noticed. That’s two or three weeks minimum, but we’re here and we have to keep fighting and competing. The boys are doing well, also from the youth team, Raúl -Asencio- played a great game, as if he is a veteran, and there are boys from Castilla and the Juvenil to help us, Courtois finished.
