Bayer Leverkusen boss Roger Schmidt has expressed his disappointment following his side's penalty-shootout defeat to Atletico Madrid in the Champions League, but insists that he was satisfied with the effort his players put in.

The Germans lost the shootout 3-2 after the last-16 tie finished 1-1 on aggregate, and Schmidt concedes that his team lacked composure taking penalties.

"We are a young team with little experience and it is not easy to hang in there at a stadium like Atletico's," BBC Sport quotes him as saying.

"In the shootout we lacked concentration and calm. After fighting so hard we are very disappointed. But the players gave their all and so we leave feeling satisfied."

Stefan Kiessling missed what proved to be the decisive penalty kick as Atletico marched on to the quarter-finals of the competition.
