“The fans were amazing, they had our back all game. Obviously, I am disappointed we couldn't win it for them, but I feel that we played a very good game, but we just didn't finish our chances,” he told the club's official website.
“The finishing, it wasn't just one player. I had chances. Florian Wirtz had chances, Boniface had chances. Everybody had chances, more than one. We all just missed.”
“It's just one of those days you just missed chances, but at a level like this, in a team like this, you have to finish your chances,” he added.
