Pellegrino Matarazzo

The stadium was incredible today.

And we pulled through.

What a night, what a result.

I'm really proud of the boys.

I don't know how much depth I should go into, but surely we had to withstand several chances, a lot of opportunities from Barcelona.

We defended with a lot of heart, we played with a lot of heart.

Our reaction after the 1-1 was fantastic.

We conceded the 1-1, we immediately go to goal, have a chance for the 3-1.

to defend even with one man less with everything we've got.

So I think that was super important.

And against teams like Barcelona and where we're at right now, it's important to have a little bit of luck on your side like we did today and an excellent goalkeeper.

Alex played a fantastic match, so I think all in all a bit lucky, but because of the heart we showed today, also in a way deserved.

Yes, of course, because every match is different, every match has its own key.

We have our way of playing football, which is clear, but there's a certain variability to it.

It's important to be pragmatic and have solutions in every scenario and whatever we need to win the game.

We prefer to press high, but if it's necessary, we're ready to defend in a low block.

And if we have to defend on a low block and transition to win the game, then we will.

We'll do it.

If we have to do it for 90 minutes, we will.

And I think that readiness from the players is special.
