Nistelrooy: We Could Have Easily Beaten Milan
The Dutch striker said his team are not happy with the draw.
Nov 3, 2009 8:05:59 PM
Real Madrid striker Ruud van Nistelrooy has said that his side "could have won easily" following their 1-1 draw with Milan at the San Siro in the UEFA Champions League.
The Dutch veteran came on as a substitute for goal scorer Karim Benzema, but could not add to his side's tally to win the game for Los Blancos.
"We are disappointed with the draw. We deserved more, we played very, very well in the first half. We could have won easily. We had many chances coming from the wings," van Nistelrooy told AS.
"The first half is the way we want to play, it is true that in the second we were off the pace."
He also said that a win next time out, against FC Zurich at the Santiago Bernabeu, should be enough to see them through.
"We have to win the next game, and thus pass through to the next round," he added.
