Hoeneß left with mixed emotions after frustrating Galatasaray defeat
Story updated
The story in brief
9-second readVfB Stuttgart head coach Sebastian Hoeneß has admitted to feeling both proud and frustrated following his side's Champions League defeat to Galatasaray, believing his players deserved more from their performance in Istanbul.
From the source
Stuttgart suffered their first defeat of the Champions League campaign on Tuesday evening, with two goals from Aleksey Batrakov inside the opening 15 minutes proving decisive in a 2-0 victory for Turkish champions Galatasaray.
However, the visitors were left wondering what might have been, having created plenty of chances throughout the contest. Jamie Leweling remarkably struck both posts with the same effort before Galatasaray took the lead, while Deniz Undav also hit the woodwork after the interval, and Chris Führich eventually found the net, only for his effort to be ruled out for offside.
Speaking to DAZN after the final whistle, boss Sebastian Hoeneß struggled to hide his frustration at the manner of the defeat. "I think we had a good chance to take the lead, a very good chance," he explained.
