Europa League: We lost to better team – Rodgers

Leicester City manager, Brendan Rodgers, has said his team lost to a better team after their elimination from the Europa League by Slavia Prague. The English side bowed 0-2 during the keenly contested duel.

“We lost to the better team. I take responsibility for the team I’ve picked. I picked a team I felt could win the game.

“We didn’t create enough over two legs. We didn’t defend with any intensity. We gave away two disappointing goals. The better team won.

We started pretty well. We didn’t have enough quality to break them down.

“I don’t want to give too many excuses. [We had] players not available tonight at the top end of the field. However I still expected us to show up more. They’ll learn from it.

“We’re disappointed to be out but we know we weren’t good enough.

“Good luck to Slavia in the next round.”
