Simeone: “We take with us an important triumph”
Our manager commented after the match that he was expecting a complicated match and that the qualifying round will be decide in Leicester. And he assessed the victory by the slightest margin for the second leg.
Diego Pablo Simeone noted after the duel that "It was the match we expected, difficult and hard-fought. Before the match, I had said I didn’t see a match with many goals for any of the two teams. And that is what happened. We take with us an important triumph and we’re going to continue fighting in the away match because it will probably be very hard."
He noted that "It has been important to keep a clean sheet and have the 1-0 advantage. The knockout round is open and they are very strong in their home ground. We will probably have to play an important match."
