Moments after FC Porto were eliminated in the UEFA Youth League semi-finals by AC Milan (2-2, 4-3 on penalties), Nuno Capucho, the Dragons' youth team coach, lamented the outcome of the match, but made sure to praise his team's pride.

"I told them that, faced with a slap like this, the winners get up the next day and want to be better. FC Porto, for the future, has players with class, with quality and with talent. These kids deserved something more. I'm sad, but very proud of these young people," he began by saying.

"My feeling right now is one of sadness. We started to show what we are as a team and the individual talent. The team started to create opportunities, pushing the opponent into their defensive midfield. They have to realize that this is football and, many times, when we don't define the situations and don't clarify the last touch in the decision, this can happen," he added.

"Regarding the game itself, I consider that we were better in all situations, but then this frustration came in the penalties. Luck was on their side and it's part of football," he added.
