On the early morning of June 24, Scotland suffered a last-gasp defeat to Hungary in their final Group A match at the European Championship, finishing bottom and exiting the tournament without reaching the knockout stage. After the match, Liverpool’s Scottish captain, Robertson, spoke to BBC.
Robertson said, “We have no words. We knew we had to win this game, and we gave everything, but ultimately, Hungary broke our hearts with that counter-attack goal. That’s football, though. We have to accept it and it will take a long time to get over the disappointment of exiting the group stage.”
“In the first half, we had more possession, but we didn’t do enough with it. We didn’t create clear-cut chances; we needed goals to get closer to their fans. Instead, we ended up with an unsatisfying draw.”
“Losing like this is devastating, and it’s demoralizing for everyone. I want to apologize to all the Scottish fans who supported us – we’re sorry for letting you down, for not meeting your expectations.”
