Ortega on Haaland's penalty miss: 'Everyone was disappointed but we played well'
Manchester City goalkeeper Stefan Ortega has commented on Erling Haaland's crucial penalty miss in Thursday's 1-1 Boxing Day draw with Everton. Ortega explained that everyone was disappointed after Haaland missed the penalty, but the team tried to focus on the positive performance. He said: "I think everyone was disappointed after Haaland missed the penalty, but I think the atmosphere today was good. The fans know the situation, and they are allowed to not be happy, but we as players are not happy either when we don't get the results we want." He added: "In the end, I think we played well, we created a lot of chances, but we missed the second goal that could have decided the game in our favour. Football is a game of chances and decisive moments, and sometimes things don't go the way we want." Despite the disappointment with the result, Ortega stressed that the team needs to continue working and improving its performance, noting that difficult periods are part of football, and the team must focus on the upcoming matches. He concluded by saying: "We know that challenges are part of the game, but we believe in our ability to return and achieve the desired results in the future."
