Klara for the eighth eighth – but Olsen still disappointed

ROM. Defeat against Real Madrid, but what to delight despite everything.

Robin Olsen Roma is even further away from the group.

"It means a lot, but we would have clearly won today," Olsen told Sportbladet after the match.

The UEFA Champions League round between Rome and Real Madrid on Tuesday was a blow to victory in Group G. Viktoria Plzen has already beaten CSKA Moscow in one of the matches of the previous evening, allowing both Roma and Real Madrid to qualify for the eighth finals.

Thus, the two main teams competed only for the victory in the group. A position like visiting Real Madrid made it difficult.

Dear miss

However, the match started in a uniform way. During the first period, Rome and Real Madrid had some chances, benefiting the Roma. Among other things, back Aleksandar Kolarov fired a shot from just outside while outside Cengiz Ünder fired on the open goal.

Everyone may have been expensive. In the second half, Real Madrid pushed the accelerator from the start and pushed 0: 1 thanks to Lucas Vázquez's Gareth Bale (0-2) in the first quarter.

"We play well in the first half, then they come out and put more pressure on us, then it will be difficult for us and they will have a quick goal," said Robin Olsen, disappointed by Sportbladet after the match.

No feeling of injury

The Swedish goalkeeper from Rome was in advance uncertain of the game. It was after he missed the weekend match against Udinese because of a muscle injury.

However, against Real Madrid, he was back without knowing the damage. In addition, he has presented himself for a handful of pretty parades.

But that did not help, 0-2 was the result in Rome in front of a crowded Stadio Olimpico. A result that will send both Roma and Real Madrid – two and one in the group – with a match to play.

"It means a lot, but we would have clearly won today, I mean: an incredible setting, a crowded arena and we are playing a good team, so we would have liked to win," said Olsen.
