Point tatu ni muhimu, na uzuri ni kwmba tumezipata, performance ya team ilikuwa poa sana kipnd cha kwanza, ila cha pili kasi ilipungua labda sababu Sporting na wenyew walikuwa wanatafuta goli, so waliongeza kasi kidogo na vijana wetu walshindwa kwenda nayo, so tukabaki tunakaba tu. Uchovu unaweza ukawa umechangia kwa vijana wetu kucheza kwa kiwango kile kile kama kipnd cha kwanza, ila wamejitahid na wameshinda sasa tuanangalia mbele kweny La Liga.
Karim Benzema has scored his 48th Champions League goal and is now joint 6th in the competition’s all-time scorers list with Ibrahimovic and Shevchenko.
Zinedine Zidane likened Los Blancos' upcoming and final group stage fixture against Borussia Dortmund to a final:
"It may be that Sporting Lisbon deserved more points than they got today, but we are now going to play a final against Dortmund and that's where our focus lies,"
"The intensity with which Sporting played made things difficult for us, but such things can happen in Champions League football,"
"We didn't lower our arms during the game, we always looked to score and we managed to do it in the end."
"Playing every three days, it's normal that we are missing a bit of energy on the pitch, so we have to rest now,"
"I removed Marcelo as a precaution, Bale took a knock to his ankle and we'll know more about it tomorrow,"
"It's premature to talk about whether Bale will be able to play in the Clasico or not, as we don't know the full extent of his injury."
"Going more games without losing is a source of motivation for us, and we want to continue like this."
Fábio Coentrão: "I made a big mistake on the penalty. I have to be more focused in such situations and no be appealing for the handball."
"I appealed for it because I thought that's what it was, but I can't be doing that. It'll be very tough to get playing time here."
"Marcelo is the best left-back in the world right now. I have to make the most of the minutes I get given, train more and give my all. I feel bad right now and can only alter that through hard work".
