Munich's "Bayern" forward Arjen Robben criticized Madrid's "Real" team, claiming that they missed the majority of the game in defense.
In the first leg of the UEFA Champions League semi-finals against the Spanish vice champions, the Bavarian team dominated the field, but after a brilliant counterattack, "Real" secured a victory with a score of 1-0.
"I have to praise my team," - said the Dutchman after the match. - "We played at the Santiago Bernabeu stadium against a world-class club, but we dominated and were better. I expected more from 'Real'."
"I thought Madrid would try to storm our goal, but instead, they waited for excellent opportunities in defense for counterattacks.
We didn't create many scoring opportunities, but we should have scored at least one goal. It's a bad result, but our game was excellent," - Robben didn't hold back praise for the team he represented.
