DeMarcos: The penalty kick hit us a big blow, I thought the referee would look back at Garnacho s handball

Football

In May 2, in the first leg of the Europa League semi-finals, Bilbao lost to Manchester United 0-3 at home, and Bilbao captain De Marcos accepted an interview with the media after the game.

"We are from Bilbao, and we believe we can reverse. We know it is very difficult and need to take a step by step to see if we can score first in the second round."

"This is football. We started very well, showed the team's style of the game and created many opportunities to lead. But the opponent's first goal frustrated us, especially when we were behind 0-2, and the situation hit us a big blow. We thought the referee would look back at Garnacho's handball, but The result was a penalty kick, a red card and two goals behind. "

"Now we have to digest the pain of this loss and rekindle our faith. We are very grateful to the home fans. It is very uncomfortable to lose, but the fans still applaud us. This is what makes us special."

Demarcos made 76 appearances in the European game, setting a Bilbao team record, but he said he was not in the mood to celebrate: "Save this to come later."
