"The best team won, that's the reality," Rodgers told Sky Sports. "We started the game well, but we made a mistake and put them back into the game. "We gave away the ball very cheaply. A confident team can do that, but at the moment the young people are suffering because of it.


"They gave their all for the match, but there was a mix of quality, [lack of] confidence and mistakes...we just suffered."
