Lukasz Skorupski, Bologna goalkeeperspoke at the end of the Champions League match which his team lost 2-0 on the Aston Villa pitch.
Below is what was reported by the official channels of the rossoblù club: “We are a bit frustrated because we play well but we don’t take advantage of the situations. We had a good first half but we have to be more aggressive in front of goal even if they had Martinez who is very strong. I haven’t seen the first goal again, I don’t know if there was a foul, tomorrow in Bologna we will look back at the match and analyze everything, even our mistakes. These international level matches help us grow, from tomorrow we’ll focus on Milan and the championship: we need to score points, so keep your head down and work hard. I want to thank the fans who follow us everywhere even though we have been giving them little satisfaction lately. What I can promise is that we will never give up.”
