“I have to say we had some luck as well. Casemiro, Garnacho, and Bruno [Fernandes] have my utmost happiness. Five goals, although we created a lot of chances against Fenerbahce and West Ham but were unable to complete them. It was a fantastic night since we suddenly had some luck on our side.”

“The players response to the Leicester goals was outstanding, and they deserve the credit.”
