Solari (Real coach, winner of AS Roma) "After losing to Eibar, it was important to move quickly to something else. There has been a sense of responsibility individually and collectively. We are happy. We gave them a huge opportunity in the first period, on an error on our part. This is the kind of opportunity that can change the course of a match. But we were more precise in the second. By our history, we are always favorites of the Champions League.
(On the absence of Isco) These are ad hoc decisions taken at a given moment. For me, there is no problem with players, substitutes or forums. I do not want to give importance to that. I have 24 players available. My job is to choose. All showed a great sense of responsibility. Bale has been exemplary in his involvement. "
Eusebio Di Francesco (AS Roma coach): "Qualify under the whistles? It's a shame but we must accept in silence, work and that's all. In the league, we are below what we must do but I do not know if we have qualified so often in the Champions League … But I'm upset because we offered the game to Real after a excellent first period when we deserved a lot more. I do not feel very lucky right now. There are many situations where you are unlucky, with injuries, but I feel that it can turn.
I think I have qualities and I think I can transmit them. We must remember how many young people there were on our side and how many champions on the other side. I have to try to make the most of this group. We make mistakes, naivety. Not just young people, it's a general problem. Dzeko and El Shaarawy injured, it takes me away from choice opportunities at a very important time of the season. If the Roma were a dead team or without personality, we would not have done this first period. If we mark the goal on the opportunity of Ünder, it can change everything from a psychological point of view. My team needs that, to find a little confidence. "
