That is the feeling.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;At the end, be patient and don&#8217;t concede transitions and don&#8217;t concede like we have done in seven or eight years in these type of games.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;But of course in the first action they run and score a goal and in the last minute we give them [a penalty]. In the 18-yard box you have to be careful and we weren&#8217;t. We don&#8217;t deserve to win.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>In a separate interview with Sky Sports, he said: &#8216;In the 18-yard box, you cannot behave the way we behaved with the penalty. When this happens, you are going to drop points.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;So simple. The players [were] running incredible, pressing good, playing good, because it&#8217;s so difficult having ten players there, so we know that and we were patient and we did it.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;But after what we have done in the last action,\u00a0 what can we do?
