Well after playing against one of the best teams in the world on friday night, and losing convincingly its quite hard to know what to say. Ok, we knew we were playing against the best players in the world and we knew that it would be a tough match, but i think after the event everyone was able to see the difference in class between the teams. Sometime you just have to hold your hands up and realize that the standard of real madrid s play was pure class. Those levels are what every soccer player has to strive for to try and be the best.

What you do take out of the game is an incredible experience and to be able to say that you played against the mighty real madrid. I think everyone enjoyed it and the younger players we have will benefit from this in the long term. This has now gone and we now need to get back to work for our main target of reaching the play offs this year.
