We didn't play well, but the referee made mistakes all game long. When he blew the end of the game when we had a chance for an attack, he demonstrated his lack of impartiality.

They have very good statistics. But just because you don't concede a goal or lose in a long time it doesn't guarantee the same outcome in the next game.

It was a difficult match, but it is supposed to be at this stage. Rangers were better than us in the first half, because they were more relaxed, but we improved a lot.

We are still in contention and I believe we can go back home and get the result we need.

Of course it's important to go down in the history, but we are already thinking about how we can get to the semi-finals. There is no limit to the ambitions of this team. Our dreams are being held in place by the hard work and dedication of the whole squad.
aware clean defeat difficult fact good history leading people proved reach reason result scoring stop team vital
As well as scoring it's going to be vital for us to keep a clean sheet. People say that 2-1 away is a good result but we have to stop them scoring. It's always difficult to defeat a team with their history but we're here for a reason and we have proved that we can reach the semi-final. I don't know how they will play but they'll be aware of the fact that they are leading the tie.
counts double early goal
It was important to get an early goal and it was also an away goal which counts for double and could be very important for the second-leg.

It has come at the worst possible time. But we have other options.

In the importance of their players and the numbers of players they have in their squad. Every Inter player is capable of doing something at any moment and that's why we will have to be very watchful.
