Los Rojiblancos exited the tournament at the hands of their arch rivals Real Madrid, with Javier Hernández’s 88th-minute goal at the Santiago Bernabéu.
The winner came after Arda Turan had been dismissed for the visitors following two bookable offences, but the Brazilian centre-back wants his team to maintain a positive attitude despite the result. Miranda said: “It was a difficult game. A match with these stakes is difficult. We had a player sent off and now we have to hold our heads high and think about the next match.”
