Carvalhal, whose team lost 3-1 after extra time and lost 3-2 overall, described the decision to receive a red card in Tormenia for a foul on Kemar Rouf shortly before halftime as “ridiculous”. However, the Portuguese coach congratulated Giovanni van Bronckhorst’s team for their victory and insisted that their chances of beating Leipzig and reaching the final were “50-50”. “First of all, congratulations to the Rangers,” he said. “I wish them all the best for the semifinal. “We saw Rangers against Celtic and Rangers did exactly the same tonight as they did in that game. They started well and scored very early. We were waiting for it. We have to give the credit to the Rangers. They started well and pushed. After that, we were calm. We were a good game, even with 10 men, even with nine men. “The referee was bad in my opinion. The red card was ridiculous. It was the same situation with one of our players in overtime. I believe that the Rangers player should have the same punishment. I think we have been prejudiced by the referees tonight. “We pushed the game until extra time. The third goal was decisive. If the rules were the same as before, then an away goal would take us to the next round. “We played against a team with a terrible momentum and we definitely had a hard time. At the end of the match our plan was not to concede goals and to try to score and we did it. “We have to praise the Rangers. They did exactly the same against Celtic. They started well and scored an early goal. The big difference between Celtic and ours was that we played with 10 men. I’m sad about the result, but I’m extremely proud of my players. Asked about Rangers’ chances of winning the Europa League, Carvajal said: “The team playing in the semi-final has a chance. It will be 50-50 for all teams. “This leg was 50-50. The Rangers dominated here, we dominated last week. All these games at this stage are 50-50 in my opinion. I wish the best to Glasgow Rangers. I really think it is 50-50 “.
