Sebastian Hoeneß displayed mixed emotions as he digested VfB Stuttgart's performance after their 1-1 draw with Atlético Madrid tonight. “I am proud of the performance of the team. Hoeneß said in the mixed zone with UEFA.tv at full-time. “We showed character, and to be honest, a two-goal lead would have been possible with the [first-half] chances we made,” he added. “The goal [we conceded] after 90 seconds in the second half was too fast, then the game looked a bit more open. “After the red card it was a game on, one goal, and we had some chances to win, that's why there is some disappointment," he summarized.
