“Our fans always want to see a spectacle and lots of goals. I think we let them down a little bit tonight,” said Brazilian defender Marcelo after the match.
“There were moments where we had a lot of space to attack, but we did not know how to take advantage of that,” said Gonzalo Higuain.
“The fans demand more goals from us and we weren’t able to provide. Still, the important thing is to start off with a victory, although the margin wasn’t as great as we had expected.”
