Euro 2020: Andersson refuses to blame defender for Sweden's exit

The Hindu  

Emotional Sweden manager Janne Andersson refused to blame defender Marcus Danielson, who was sent off in extra time as Sweden lost 2-1 to Ukraine in its Euro 2020 last-16 tie at Hampden Park on Tuesday to bring its tournament to an end. Winger Emil Forsberg, who scored four goals at Euro 2020 for the Swedes, described the scene in the locker room for broadcaster Sveriges Radio. "We were the better team, we created the better chances, post, the crossbar, it's sad, and the red card affects," Forsberg added. "It would have been fun to try to get revenge against them in a new quarterfinal, but that's not how it's going to be," a dejected Andersson said.
