Luka Modric said in a press statement after the match: “We will give everything to Denil in the second leg. We knew they had good ball control and weren’t easy to press, but we were patient and waited for our chance. They couldn’t do anything with the ball, and before the break we were leading 1-0. Then they improved in pressing and with the ball.
He continued, “We will give everything we have in the second leg. We knew they had good ball control and weren’t easy to press, but we were patient and waited for our chance. They couldn’t do anything with the ball, and before the break we were leading 1-0. Then they improved in pressing and with the ball.
He continued, “I think we finished well, I feel good. The result is good and still open. We knew how they played, they didn’t create many chances and we had more chances. It’s a shame that we scored this goal.
He added: “We know that Camavinga can move into midfield, he is a good player and it worked for us (relying on him as a full-back) as we play better.
And he concluded: “I think we deserve more today, but wait, we will come to their judgment with the same passion, confidence and faith. Who was stronger after this draw? I don’t trust anyone, it’s an open outcome. We knew that this would not be decided in our court. Still 50/50.
