"We were not able to build an offensive game;" Courtois on the game against City

Real Madrid goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois stated that the main problem of the Madrid team in the second leg of the Champions League semi-final against Manchester City was the unsuccessful play of the offensive line. "It was necessary to play with simple passes. "City" is having an incredible season, including in the domestic league. That's why we had to play to the maximum.

The main problem was that we needed to be able to build an offensive game. We did not create winning moments, and "City" felt more comfortable. It seemed that we were not lucky. They scored, then Cross hit the post with his shot. Last season we were fortunate in such details, but not this season. At half-time, we were confident that we could change the course of the game, but we didn't play with passes, and it cost us dearly," Courtois said on the UEFA website.

Let's remind that as a result of two games, "Manchester City" reached the final of the Champions League, where they will compete against "Inter Milan" in Istanbul on June 10.
