Benfica coach Ronald Koeman admitted that Barcelona deserved to beat Benfica in the Champions League quarter finals, but was disappointed that his side did not take their chances. The former Barça star recognised FC Barcelona´s performance and dominance in both matches to deserve a place in the semi finals of the UEFA Champions League Competition against AC Milan: "They were superior to us in both matches but we did have good chances to get through.You could say we feel disappointed at the result, as we were after the first leg at Da Luz. We had two good opportunities in the second half which meant we could have drawn. To control the match you have to play very calmly, but Barcelona pressurised us a lot and we lost too many balls in midfield. I think Barcelona showed in two games against us what they are made of. Of course, they are capable of beating Milan."
