The Bundesliga club’s trainer was gracious in defeat, but he was disappointed to concede three goals as the side threw away a winning position in the Spanish capital
Wolfsburg coach Dieter Hecking felt Real Madrid deserved their place in the Champions League semi-finals as he lamented his team’s defending.
A Cristiano Ronaldo hat-trick led the La Liga giants to a 3-0 win at the Santiago Bernabeu, completing a comeback 3-2 aggregate victory on Tuesday.
Hecking rued his side’s display away from home and said Madrid were worthy semi-finalists.
“They have deserved to go through and won fairly. We did not play as we wanted,” he told a news conference.
“We have not been so bad, but we have not understood what had to be done. We lost many balls.”
