"We lost 3-0, but it's not much different to what has happened to other big clubs. At least we didn't let in four like Real Madrid," Scolari told reporters.

"I'm very proud of my players and I can only congratulate them. They played at a very high level, they are improving every day and now we have the chance to finish third, which would be a source of pride for the club. We lost to a fantastic team."
