“It was a 50-50 game maybe, but in the end we made the counter-attacks and we make one goal, and defended very well, and I think we can say maybe the better team today has won.
“It is important you have good tactics, and it can decide the one v ones, in those individual duels in the end we did better than City.
“I think both teams, both managers have very good tactics and are very good managers, but in the end you have to win the duels and that’s what we did today.

He said;
“Yes, more assists than goals, which is not usual for me from other years, but that’s not a problem when we win, like today or against Atletico Madrid.
“It was a similar goal to Atletico. It was a pass from Mason [Mount] and I saw Hakim [Ziyech] and I was thinking bring the ball in the middle so he could score, and that’s what I did.
