Richard Ríos on Benfica v Leverkusen: we did some good things | OneFootball

Richard Ríos explained that the team was very frustrated after the Champions League match. The Clube da Luz took to the field this Wednesday, November 5, to face Bayer Leverkusen. The Eagles were defeated 1-0, and at the end of the match, the Colombian midfielder spoke to the Sporttv microphones in the usual flash interview.

"The feeling is one of frustration. We did good things, as the coach asked, but in that play we made a mistake and conceded the goal, which is difficult for us. But what we can do to improve is to finish the games. We gave them chances, we didn't score. They went there and scored. We tried, but it was difficult," Richard Ríos began to explain.

The Benfica midfielder continued about the Eagles' chances in the Champions League: "In football, anything is possible, we always go to win. But now we have to think about the next game, approach every game to win, and I'm sure we will achieve victory and overcome this situation in the Champions League."

Leandro Barreiro, a midfielder who started in the Benfica - Leverkusen match, also spoke to the Sporttv microphones: "We played a very good game, but we didn't score, and those who don't score suffer. We did good things, but without scoring, it becomes more difficult to win."

"Today I think the positive is that we created a lot. We are in front of the goal, we want to score, nobody misses on purpose. We have to work on that to score more," concluded Leandro Barreiro, who, like Richard Ríos, pointed to the lack of effectiveness as the reason for the Eagles' defeat.
