Arsenal head coach Renee Slegers was keen to make sure fans and players were not downhearted following their 2-0 defeat away to Real Madrid in the Champions League quarter-final. (More Football News)
The return leg will be at the Emirates Stadium next Thursday, with Slegers eager to point out that we are only halfway through the tie.
바카라It바카라s only half-time. It바카라s 2-0 to Real Madrid at the moment but we바카라re going to play against them again at the Emirates and we바카라ll have to believe that we can score two goals with the fans behind us," she told the official club website.
바카라We heard the fans the whole game here as well today, so thanks for that. Thanks for the support and we always know that they will bring us that extra edge, that extra energy when we play at home with all the fans behind us so I바카라m looking forward to that.바카라
Arsenal were drawn against Real Madrid having topped Group C, finishing two points above Bayern Munich, though now face elimination should they fail to turn the aggregate score around.
Despite having been beaten by two goals, Slegers believed that it was not a fair reflection on the performance of her side, suggesting it was tighter than the scoreline would have you believe.
바카라It was quite an even game. We knew beforehand that it was going to be a battle between two well-organised teams," she said.
바카라I think Real Madrid got maximum reward for what they created and what their game plan was today, so credit to them.
바카라I don바카라t believe in bad luck, so I think it바카라s about the details that we need to do better. So, what kind of attacks do we create, how do we position without the ball.
"The season hasn바카라t been perfect all the way, we have been dealing with things along the way and I think that바카라s part of sport and that바카라s what makes great athletes and great teams. Teams that can come back and want to get better.
바카라I think performances and results can be a big motivator to try and do things better next time, so there바카라s definitely a lot of key learnings from this game and we see all the potential opportunities to perform better in the home game.바카라
The winner of the tie will face either Lyon or Bayern Munich in the semi-final, while next up for Arsenal is a home game against Liverpool in the WSL on Saturday.
