knew they needed to put up a perfect performance against the reigning European Champions, but instead gifted three out of four goals, including the opener after nine minutes with a

Reina told Sky Sport Italia
.
“We must put this behind us, because the form we had in recent weeks means it’s our duty we get right back on track.
“This was a club that hadn’t been in the Round of 16 for many years, there were players who had few Champions League games under their belts. When you make errors against the best team in the world, you’re going to suffer.
“When you have the wrong approach to a game like this, you’re going to pay for that. All the hunger you have can make you shoot yourself in the foot, and it’s not a team accustomed to turning this sort of match around or playing with that kind of intensity.
The return leg will be in Munich on March 17.
