They were more desperate than us off the start and we didn't match it. It was that first period where we were very flat and they were good. They got out ahead of us and we didn't fully get back into it.
close fans hear holding hurt imagining sitting time took
When you get that close and then you hear the other team, the other fans celebrating to 'Simply The Best' and 'We Are The Champions', that hurt. It hurt a lot.
