We worked for this match because if we lost it was difficult for the qualification. But we are all happy for the victory. But the way we played, it was fantastic. We are here to make matches like that. We have already shown that we can play like that. Lack of character in big matches? No, sometimes people will talk and say that it was because we played at home that we managed that match, that's how it is football. After, it is not over, we are not yet qualified. It will be necessary to play in BelgradeIt's not easy there where Liverpool lost. It will be necessary to make a perfect match to qualify. "

The central defender then praised his coach, Thomas Tuchel.

" The coach is fantastic. He always wants to play. He still wants to play ahead but without leaving any security behind. Sometimes we think that matches are easy, we are not focused and we take counters, but today it was an incredible match. We attacked, we defended all together. The most important thing is the way we played. I am very happy for the match we made today and also for the atmosphere. "

" It's a bit boring sometimes. The many injuries I suffered before Champions League matches may have suggested that I was mentally weak, that I was not ready. Today, it is not a show of force for people who speak, but for myself. She is also addressing my family. I play for them, for my child. He claimed this victory today. I'm very happy with the match we made. I will be able to go home and wake up my sleeping son because he has school tomorrow morning. And tell him 'my son, dad he won tonight', it's beautiful."
