“I watched it and became a bit scared when they scored and got the penalty, but I think after we saved the penalty the game became more comfortable for us and I think we played very well. “I’m very happy for Arsenal and their fans because they deserve to be in the Champions League. It’s a big boost for Arsenal and the players, because it is a very difficult season and I am sure from this they will get so much confidence they can move forward.”
