The fifth round match of the Champions League between Liverpool and Real Madrid ended with a 2-0 win for the Merseysiders. After the game, Madrid midfielder Luka Modric spoke to journalists.
“This is the Champions League and it has its challenging moments. There are still three games left and we have to do better than in our last games. I believe we can do it because the team showed good dynamics in La Liga has.
Things went well for us in the first half; A penalty could have changed the course of the game, but we missed it. We then conceded a second goal and the game was lost. We defended well and played compactly. There were some weaknesses, but our biggest problems were in the final third.
We see Mbappe working hard in training. Sometimes he shows himself, and sometimes he doesn’t. Today he missed a penalty but we have confidence in him and believe Kylian will deliver what is expected of him. We still have a chance to reach the top eight; we have to believe in it, but we have to do more. We have three difficult games ahead of us, especially against Atalanta. It is too early to draw conclusions,” the player was quoted as saying by UEFA.
