Feyenoord's right-back Givairo Read had mixed feelings after the team's loss to Real Betis in the Champions League. A crucial penalty sealed the Rotterdammers' fate, but Read looked back at the moment before it. He praised the team's defensive performance, particularly in the first half, where they conceded little. However, he felt that they were sloppy in possession and failed to capitalise on their chances. Read also noted that they could have done more with the ball at their feet. According to Read, Feyenoord 'stood well defensively, especially in the first half, we gave away little'. He added that they were 'a bit sloppy in possession, I thought. We could have done more with the ball at our feet. Ultimately, you lose after a penalty... Fortunately, there were good things in between, but also things we need to look at.'
