It’s a similar scenario to the first leg, or worse. On the lawn of Fenerbahçe, Rennes had the opportunity to officially validate their ticket for the knockout stages of the Europa League. And everything started well since the Bretons led 3-0 in 30 minutes. But as in the first leg, the Turks were able to come back and scored 3 goals to equalize at the very end of the game. A scenario that does not pass at all, as Benjamin Bourigeaud confided to the microphone of RMC Sports.
“It’s not overconfidence. We make the match we need at the start. We are perfect at the start. We win 3-0 away. We have a weak time in the first period. Afterwards, we tried to do the maximum. At the end of the game, we have to do better. Today, it is professional misconduct not to win. We are fools because at 3-0, we have to close the shop and there we take 3 goals. Frankly, we have no right. I do not know what happened. We make too many touches, we try to dribble when we have to take zero risks, and clear. We said we had learned, but we show that we still have to learn. We will have to stop and ask ourselves the right questions. We don’t have the right to do what we did today. We will have a final at home now. We ruined the party.”
