“We are to blame for the first goal; we got back into the game, but they scored when we were superior.” It’s our fault; we blew several opportunities when the score was 1-1. I recall Joao [Felix] having one, as did Raphinha… and then they scored the 1-2.
“I believe we outplayed Mallorca, but we must improve.” Last
