“It’s with the sort of attitude we showed today that we’ll win matches. We completely dominated the first 12 to 15 minutes, then we ran into a lot of problems. They also executed their seven-man game very well, but we remained disciplined, found solutions, and I’m pleased. With the new format, every point counts. The little things, like today’s final goal, could potentially prove significant later on. Now we’ll have a rest and we’ll return on Sunday for another very important match.”
“For us, the most important thing is that we’ve secured our first Champions League win of the season. It’s great to get that feeling of winning matches again. We know that with the new format, every point is crucial. It’s true that this season there have already been quite a few matches where we haven’t cracked under pressure; we know how to stick together. That’s something we worked on during pre-season. The atmosphere was exceptional, as always. We love playing here, in front of this crowd. It gives us extra strength in every match.”
