“Of course, you’re disappointed, massively disappointed. The players in the dressing room are massively disappointed.

“I thought with the challenges that we’ve had building up to the final, the players did really well. The opening of the game, we pressed high, but al Ahly were good with the ball.

“I thought we did that reasonably well, but we had less and less of our attacks,” he added, as he looked back at the match.
