Don't Blame Defence For Real Madrid Defeat Says Bosz

"We defend with 11 players and we attack with 11 players. You cannot blame the defence."

"Against a very good opponent, who made almost no mistakes, we always were a step late."

"We need to defend better. We couldn't pressure the ball in nearly every moment of the game. That's what makes it hard against such opposition, who have quality. We have to analyse this and improve."

There was a moment of controversy three minutes before Bale's opener, when Maximilian Philipp turned the ball goalwards only to see it deflected onto the raised hand of Sergio Ramos.

Bosz felt it was a clear penalty but does not believe his side were hard done by in terms of the result.

"The moment in the first half was a penalty for a handball, clearly. But we deserved to lose," he said.
