Diego Lopez reflected that Real Madrid’s exit from the Champions League to Borussia Dortmund also hinged on a little less luck coming their way.
Los Blancos defeated the Germans 2-0 in Tuesday’s semi-final second leg, but are out 4-3 on aggregate.
“It's disappointing but we gave it our all in every moment. We were missing that small bit of luck,” Lopez commented to UEFA’s official website afterwards.
“The fans are the stand-out aspect for me tonight as ever since we arrived at the ground in the team bus they created a spectacular atmosphere.
“They trusted in us and brought us a lot in the game. We felt that taking an advantage into half-time was going to be the key but even so, we had chances in the second half to score the three goals we needed.
“We believed in ourselves but at the end of the day it didn't happen. We are leaving in good conscience. We need to wish Dortmund good luck and move on.”
