They haven’t started the tournament well this season either, losing 2-1 away to Real Madrid , but that performance still gave the players and fans hope for the future. “Of course it is our dream to win the Champions League and we’ll give it our all, we’ll see how it goes. Not everyone can go to the Bernabeu and dominate the game the way we did, keep possession and create chances. Unfortunately, we lost on the night, but it showed us we are strong and we proved it in Madrid.”
