We are sorry we failed

- Of course it's hard when you got defeated. We didn't start the game in the way we wanted, but Lyon controlled the game from the first minute. They were a better team and we pulled back in order to defend our area. They had two defeats and they wanted to prove their quality against us. They succeed in it and we need to learn from this match - said captain Josip Pivarić after a 0:3 defeat by Lyon adding: - We started to play after their third goal and we were late. I think we deserved maybe a goal or two because we had some great chances in the second half. We are aware of Lyon quality, but we didn't expect this kind of result. It is an honor to wear captain armband and I am delighted. I wanted to lead the team to a positive result and I am sorry we failed.

- Lyon started the game in the best possible way and you can't say some of their players are missing. We hope for the best, but we failed. I am sorry about that, but we need to push forward and concentrate on upcoming games. We hit the bar two times, but we just couldn't score. Of course it is a great honor for every young player to play the Champions League group stage. Maybe it will be easier for us with every single game. This is what you live for - said young Filip Benkovića after a defeat.
