He said:
"We suffered from set pieces, but we had some young players out there and we were too small as a unit. The way we conceded the two goals is regrettable, because we could have done better on both occasions.

"It is frustrating because we were twice in the lead but we were pulled back. We had chances to win the game."
He did however single out the young midfield duo of Fabregas and Flamini for special praise, saying:
"In the middle of the park, our oldest player was 20-years-old. I would like to congratulate the players for showing fantastic qualities. This team has shown fantastic spirit and has a great future. It was an intense game, and we had much less experience than Chelsea.
"But I thought we did really well, and it was important for us to come back to the level we want to be at."
