Cherki: This is one of France s best performances, but we didn t score when we got the advantage

In the UEFA Europa League semi-finals, France lost 4-5 to Spain and missed the final. French player Cherky was interviewed after the game.

Cherki first said: "I don't think we are disappointing, it's just that the opponent performed better than us at critical moments. If you look at the statistics, this is one of the best games for the French national team. But when we have the advantage, we should have been more decisive."

Cherki came on as a substitute in the 63rd minute of this game, scoring 1 goal and assisting 1 time. He continued: "I'm not the kind of person who will be nervous about the game. I know there's a lot of room when I play. I'm playing to create opportunities for my teammates. I don't care about my personal performance. We still have a game to play, and we'll go all out on Sunday. No. 10 position? This is a position I like very much, and I try to open the situation when the game is balanced."

Finally, Cherki said: "We know that Spain's offense is excellent. We have nothing to be ashamed of, we create a lot of opportunities. But the third goal hurts us, and Spain did what we should have done, which is to seize the opportunity to score goals when we have the advantage."
