Real Madrid coach Bernd Schuster praised his players for their brave performance despite their UEFA Champions League defeat against AS Roma 2-1 on Wednesday. "The players have given everything, I cannot say any more, only to congratulate them," the German tactician said after the game. The Spanish champions were knocked out of the Champions League round 16, after losing twice from AS Roma, 2-1. "We worked well and had chances against a very well-organised team." "It cannot be denied that the team have looked for ways to score, but we had some moments in the game where the luck was not with us and we have not obtained the result we hoped for." Schuster also praised the Romans who handled the game very cleverly and used their chances wisely.
