Toni Kroos: “Unfortunately not satisfied with the result”

TONI KROOS about the 3:3: “Not feeling so happy, admittedly. If you equalize at the end, you’ll leave feeling okay. But I felt like we had a chance to make it 3-1, especially when the score was 2-1. We let that go and then City scored two dream goals, that hurts you. Overall, I’m unfortunately not happy with the result.”

…the good and the bad in the game: “What we did well above all is that we overcame the quick deficit really, really well, that we just kept playing and moved forward. We had opportunities and deserved to score the goals. We felt like we were a bit too passive before City’s 2-2 draw. You always have these phases against City. The fact that you have to run a bit behind isn’t a huge surprise. And yet they score two goals that even City don’t score every day. We could have handled the ball a little better. We could have made it 3-1. Otherwise we did quite a lot well. We can say that we left everything on the pitch here.”

…the second leg on April 17th: “It will be important that we do significantly better than last year. We know that City are probably a level stronger at home. We have to prepare for that. Last year we also went to the second leg with a draw and then we had relatively no chance, you have to admit. Of course we have to do things differently if we want to move forward. We have to appear there with the same personality as we did here today, then we have a chance.”

…Carlo Ancelotti, who made his 200th appearance as a coach in the Champions League and the question of where he ranks him in his coaching rankings: “He’s certainly very high up. I was lucky to have quite a few well-known trainers. What we have achieved speaks for itself and I hope, of course, that it doesn’t just remain another Champions League season.”

Real Madrid misses home win: “3-3 gives some courage”

FEDERICO VALVERDE on missing a home win: “The goal to make it 3-3 gives you some courage for the second leg. The draw seems like a defeat, just like last year. After conceding an early goal, it was important that we fought back. Scoring two goals within a few minutes gave us a lot of encouragement and motivation. But then we slacked off a bit, we did poorly. We stopped pushing because of fatigue.”

Rodrygo suddenly left despite Vinícius: “It worked well”

RODRYGO GOES about the draw: “We wanted to win and leave the game with a positive result, but we drew. We failed a bit and conceded goals that we shouldn’t have conceded. Coming back from such an early 0-1 defeat is always difficult. But we turned the game around. After that we could have controlled everything a little more. Now we have a week to work with a game in between. There’s not much left to say now, there’s nothing more you can do. Everything is open for the second leg. Anyone who makes fewer mistakes there will move forward.”

…his left winger role in the 4-2-3-1: “City didn’t expect that because Viní always plays there. Today we did it differently, a new tactic. It worked out well – despite the result being not what we wanted.”

Camavinga: “The most important thing is that we didn’t lose”

EDUARDO CAMAVINGA on the first leg: “It was a good game from everyone, we played well. But we didn’t win. We conceded a quick goal and the good reaction afterwards was important. The second leg is coming up soon and we have to concentrate on that now. The most important thing is that we didn’t lose today. We now have to fight even harder in the second leg.”
