, Mourinho was interviewed on the sidelines after the match.

Manchester United Football Club
It was a goal but our response deserved a second goal. Then they scored the second goal, but our response after that deserved a goal.
We lost the game but I want to recognize my players, we have no complaints, it was difficult for me to analyze the game in front of the media. Every time I try to analyze the game in front of the cameras, I get criticized, so I prefer to speak in general terms.
That generalization, I thought we lost to a very good team, and I want to give credit to my players, and to the
Manchester United Football Club
Congratulations were expressed.
(var) It's hard for everybody, whether it's for us (coaches), for the players or for the referees. There's a lot of confrontation at the center of it, a lot of resolutions that you can't understand very well. It's not my problem and I can't deal with it.
I was happy with the team's opening performance, we worked well. And then to concede points with a lead is something I can't quite comfortably say in front of the media.
You see the standings and you see the gap between us and the top four. You know it's hard, but it's still mathematically possible.
