Jose Mourinho crushed bottles of water in the ground with an expression of "relief" after Manchester United snatched a last winner to reach the final round of the Champions League – an opportunity used by the manager to remind "In love" with his enviable continental record.
The Young Boys seemed ready to frustrate and possibly embarrbad the Old Trafford giants on their home turf on Tuesday, showing the coolness, self-confidence and camaraderie that were sorely missed by their opponents.
But not for the first time this season, the men of Mourinho dug deep and scored the winning goal Marouane Fellaini returns home to ensure a 1-0 win and progress to the knockout stages of the Champions League with a game to spare.
United's manager has launched a water bottle cage and threw another to celebrate a goal, which means he'll be heading to Valencia next month. Progress is badured after the defeat of the Spaniards at Juventus on Tuesday.
"Relief," Mourinho says of his celebrations. "Frustration before that and relief with purpose.
"I think we did not play for that, we did not play for 0-0. We did not play until we had trouble until the last minute, so frustration.
"I was not unhappy with the players. Not at all.
Marouane Fellaini to the rescue again !!!!

"Frustrated by the fact that we could not score, yes, but my players were very tired at the end and that's what I love – I want them to be very tired.
"That means that they gave everything, and they did, with moments of very good football, moments of quality, moments of beautiful hypothetical goals, but also moments of pressure, moments of lack of self-confidence, which frustrate us.
"But in the end, we score.
"I have to put together the goal we scored with David De Gea's rescue. I think without David save, no winning goal.
"But in the end, we qualify in a very difficult group with an overdue match, but we did it."
