“I think 1-1 here would have been a terrific result.

“They’re a fantastic team and that was very tough. It’s disappointing at the end because I thought we defended well throughout and we dug in.
“Obviously I think it will be a different game at home but nevertheless we go for the home leg.
"We are more confident at home, we know what we need to do. We knew how tough it was to come here and get a result.
