Ibrahima Konaté (Liverpool defender, defeated in the Champions League final by Real Madrid 0-1): “The disappointment is immense, I have no words to describe it, but it’s football, sometimes we wins, sometimes you lose, the most important thing is to get up. This final was not much played, we were better than them today, but we faced a very good team from Real and a very, very great goalkeeper (Thibaut Courtois) tonight as he has been in previous matches in the Champions League and La Liga. We did not know how to conclude the actions we had, they had very few and managed to conclude one. For the Ballon d’Or? Mané and Salah both had a great season, Benzema had a huge season. I would like all three to be on the podium, I would prefer a Liverpool player to win, but if it is Karim Benzema I will be very happy too.
