“Today it was hard work for him as well, it was a tricky one, a tricky encounter.

“So then staying on the pitch, staying in the game shows then the real quality because we changed system and brought Luis in the centre and Sadio in his natural position.

“Sadio scored anyway in the center but Luis makes this wonderful run in the centre as well. It’s good, he’s just an outstanding talent, a really, really good player.

“I think he is very happy tonight. He should be.”

“And long may it continue because that means we can play a lot of football games. That’s what we love most.

“But it’s not easy for the boys and that’s exactly why we changed today seven times because I expect from the boys that they listen when I tell them that the next game we play is absolutely the most important game we’ve ever played.”
