There is nothing we can do now but to focus on the next match. In a week that saw us getting through the next round in Europe, today’s defeat leaves us with a bad taste, but we have to carry on.

We went to Manchester trying to reduce the gap with City but we couldn’t make it. Yet we were close after Hart’s penalty on Demba in the second half, with the score still 0-0. However, even if Frank’s shot was very strong, aiming to the bottom left corner, the goalkeeper made a great save avoiding the goal. Soon afterwards, they scored two good goals from Yayá and Tévez to take the three points away from us. Now we are back in London looking forward to our next match.
