“You have to be demanding especially in matches like these. We made the task difficult for ourselves, even if Aston Villa put us under a lot of pressure,” Dembele told French broadcaster Canal Plus. “We thought we were better than we are,” admitted Dembele.
“At 2-1 we thought we were already qualified, that the tie was over. But this is what the Champions League is like. You can come up against teams, especially when they are at home with a heated crowd like that, who can turn games around. So we need to be more demanding of ourselves in the semi-finals,” he added.
