Courtois The big problem was that we weren't creating chances

Real Madrid goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois analyzes the 4-0 loss to Manchester City in the Champions League semi-finals. He stated that his team expected the opponent's pressure in the opening minutes, but the big problem was that the Madrid players did not manage to create chances and worry the "citizens".

"I don't think City surprised us with the way they played, we expected them to press us in the beginning. They didn't let us play the ball easily. We expected them to press us in front of our penalty area. The big problem was that we didn't manage to create chances in attack And when you don't create chances against a team like City, they start to feel more and more comfortable.

They scored, which was unpleasant, and then Toni Kroos hit the post. Sometimes this season, little moments like that don't work out in our favor like they did last campaign. at half-time we believed we could turn the tide of the game, but we weren't precise enough with our passes and that cost us a lot," Courtois said.

"If I have to analyze the game more deeply, I have to watch it again. We shouldn't have let them win so many second balls. We should have been more accurate with our passes. Also, City are a very strong host, and when you're not 100%, it will always be difficult," added the Belgian.
