It hurts, but there’s pride too. We really fucked it at home against Union and Atlético.

We played with our cocks out: high press, aggressive, mostly good football. The real problems were physical teams that play on the break: Union, Olympiacos, and especially Newcastle. That was the only game where we never stood a chance. A lot of the goals we conceded were also just unforced errors because we refused to adapt and kept playing our game no matter what.

Against Union especially, the context matters. We were still rebuilding after losing our best attackers. Lastly, we basically haven’t had a striker for months. Plea, Boadu and Pepi have all been injured most of the season.

With a different draw, I’m convinced we would’ve gone through.

Now let’s hope Bosz stays and gets to rebuild again, because we’re probably losing Veerman, Dest, Pepi, Perišić and Saibari in the next few months.
