Madridthe captain of "Real" Sergio Ramos believes that the "royal" club deserved to win with a larger result yesterday, but it is definitely not time to relax and dream about the UEFA Champions League semi-finals.
Defending champions from the Spanish capital defeated Bayern Munich 2-1 away yesterday, with Cristiano Ronaldo securing the victory with a brace.
However, everything could have gone in a different direction, as Arturo Vidal, who put the Germans ahead in the 25th minute, missed a penalty at the end of the first half.
"In this clash, we took a big step forward, but there is still the return leg against a great opponent, who has proved to be one of the favorites to win the tournament," Ramos said.
"The outcome of the duel is still unclear, but we must congratulate the team on their performance."
"In the first half, we had to react, but we showed that we know how to behave on the pitch. In the second half, we had more control and dominated the game more, which allowed us to create more chances. Some of them ended in goals, and we leave here thinking that we could have scored one more, which would have made the situation in the return leg even more comfortable."
"Nevertheless, we are happy and satisfied that we achieved victory here, which is always very important."
The return leg between "Real" and Bayern will take place in Madrid next Tuesday.
