Axel Witsel: “We did not play as we should have”

Belgian midfielder reflects on the game in Rostov-on-Don.

– We did not start the game the best way, not as much as was needed anyway. In the first half, Rostov was fighting better. Besides, even before the game begun, we knew that if we fail to score first it will not be easy. We tried to fight back after conceiving, but missed and they scored a second; We had to score three and it was really very tough against Rostov.

It’s a fair result?

– I think so. We did not play as we should have. They deserved to win. Now we depend on others and things are not in our hands. It will be very, very difficult.
