“They bullied us in every part of the pitch. It was really bad for us. The second-half was important to come back with more desire, more confidence.

“It is important for the team to keep building these kinds of things to become better. We knew they were going to play like this.

“It was their qualities, so they played with that. We were aware before of that. It was the game. The game was about duels, fighting.

“That is why we tried to do more in the second-half to show our desire to win, and that is what we did.”
