Benitez: We gave it away

"When you lose like that it is always very disappointing. We gave away a lot of possession; we had plenty but did not keep it," he said after the game. "Every team has a chance of qualifying so the home games are important now."

"Until Olympiakos scored they had not created anything, but after their goal the game changed. They were confident and had more opportunities.

"The goal was unfortunate. The cross clipped a player and changed direction, making it very difficult for Sami Hyypia to clear."
