Timo Werner expresses disappointment following their result against Real Madrid as he claims he thought they were through to the semifinal.
Chelsea forward Timo Werner says he believed they were through when he slotted the third goal for his side against Real Madrid in the Champions League.
The Blues did an incredible comeback in the game to keep their hopes alive before Rodrygo and Benzema goals crashed them out of the League.
The Blues performance at the Santiago Bernabeu was incredible despite all odds were against them to perform.
Speaking after the match in Spain Werner stated that he thought they had ended the game when he scored the third goal.
“To come back after a 3-1 defeat in the home game was very good for us, we had everything that we needed at 3-0 up, we had the chance to go through,’ said Werner as looked back on the enthralling encounter.
“But in the end you can’t stop Madrid over the whole time. We know that but we tried everything in normal time and in extra time but the home game made a difference because this [the away game] was nearly a perfect performance from us, so we are very disappointed after what we put into this game and how we played.
“When I celebrated [my goal] I thought this is it. We could have scored before that to make it 3-0 but the officials didn’t give it to us, it is a point you can talk about, but when I scored I thought we are through with this. We nearly gave no chances to Madrid but in the end we have to say the goals they scored were very good.
“There was one moment in regular time when we were not like we were the whole game and Madrid have the quality to score against you and they showed it for the 3-1. I think it was a brilliant goal, a brilliant cross from Modric, hard to defend.”
Werner expressed his disappointment after they had ten minutes to make a miracle in the game but went against them.
“It was a problem because it put us in a very difficult situation, but also on the other side it was the thing that brings us for the second game to this level because we know that we have to step up and we have to give everything.
“We had a brilliant game and we had 10 minutes to go through to make a miracle come true, so it is very disappointing.”
