Llorente takes the positives

It’s never easy to lose, particularly when defeat comes in the Champions League final, and Fernando Llorente gave his take on the matter after the final whistle.

"We’re disappointed. We put in a good performance but it wasn’t enough. We didn’t start the way we wanted to and conceded a goal straight off, but then we grew into it.

"We got back into the match and did very well in the second half. At times, we were better than Barcelona, despite them being in incredible form. It’s a shame, but we should have taken our chances better," continued Llorente.

"We’ve had a great season and I’m happy to be a part of this group. Achieving what we’ve achieved this year is no easy feat," the Spaniard concluded.
