00:00Michael, after such a great season, is that maybe the cruelest way for it to end?
00:04Yeah, it's very tough to accept when you are so consistent in the competition on the way to the final
00:10and at the end you lose the trophy on penalty kicks, so it's a difficult one.
00:16In the game itself, there was a moment in extra time, the penalty shout on Noni Madweke,
00:20do you think that should have been a penalty?
00:22I watch it back and it can easily be a penalty, especially we see the penalty that they give me
00:28in the competition this season.
00:30The referees made that decision, they made a different one on the penalty with Mosquera
00:34and yeah, that's an important one.
00:37You've obviously been in to talk to your players, what have you been saying to them?
00:42That I'm so proud of them.
00:44I think the season that we have under the circumstances that just internally we know what we've been through.
00:53They're giving us so much joy.
00:56It's just a privilege to manage this group of players, this team, I think the way they carry this badge
01:01and how much they put into it.
01:05We've got a big one and we miss on the biggest one.
01:09I'm sure it'll be really tough now, but how do you sort of look back at the rest of the
01:14season?
01:14Is this another season of progression and success?
01:17You've gone quarter-finals, semi-final, final in the Champions League?
01:21Yeah, I mean, we haven't done it for 22 years, so imagine.
01:24And it's the second time in our history that we've done it, so we need to recognise the season that
01:29we had.
01:31But at the moment, nobody is going to take the pain away from you.
01:34The team that you played today, PSG, took an awful long time to win their first Champions League.
01:39Is that maybe something that you can take away from today?
01:41They've had to work so hard to win their first one, they've had to work so hard today to beat
01:45you on the night.
01:45Yeah, and we know the teams that they had in the past, and they are a superb team, congratulate them.
01:51They are really difficult to play against, that's why they are champions two times in a row.
01:56And the individual quality they have, the manner they have coached, they are a top, top team.
02:02And just looking forward now, what's next for this team?
02:04How do you now regroup?
02:06This, I'm sure, has made you all hungry again to come back here again next year and build on the
02:10success.
02:11I think you have to go through the motions, and if you are in pain, go through the pain.
02:18If you think you could have done something else, learn from it, and that's it.
02:23And reflect on that, and then show the ambition that we want to again.
