Compliments to the team: “We played a smart game. Very well behind and very dangerous against. It was what we proposed. At the beginning, the output of the ball had to be better. With the ball at the beginning it could be done better. After scoring we had more opportunity and more control. ”
Vinicius: “He played a very good game, every time he created danger. Benzema has also helped the team a lot. We are a solid team. It is difficult to find opportunities for the opposite.”
The defense: “We are defending well. The collective commitment is very good. You do not need to work on quality. It is team genetics. They have scored two defenses. This means that we wanted to attack. We have done very well. Everyone would like to put pressure on in the whole field. It cannot be done sometimes and defending well is a virtue. I don’t like to evaluate the opposing team. We suffered in this game. Barcelona will be in the fight until the end “
