The match valid for the second day of the ‘championship phase’ of the Champions League ended 1-0, decided by a goal at the start of the second half from Victor Boniface: “The reaction after the goal was very positive. Throughout the match there was willingness, there was organisation, there was a team on the pitch that tried to overcome the difficulties that are normal against a great team We have to analyze this match and take the positive, keep the anger as well as the disappointment, but then think about Sunday which is the most important thing now.”
