CL Reaction: Mixed Feelings For Real Coach Del Bosque

Real Madrid coach Vicente Del Bosque had mixed feelings after losing at home to Roma but still qualifying for the second round of the Champions League.

"We can't be satisfied with the result but we have qualified and that is something that Roma have yet to do," he said.

"We are definitely not as badly off as our recent results suggest and talk of a crisis is a massive exaggeration."

"I am not one for excuses, but Luis Figo, Raul and Ronaldo are all playing after injury layoffs and we are still waiting for them to find that understanding they will get from playing along side eachother."

"We lacked precision in front of goal, and it wasn't easy to find a way past the Roma defence. The most pleasing part for me was the effort given by all the players."
