“We didn’t get what we wanted; a positive result. We expected Dortmund to come in strong from the very beginning but we conceded a goal at a completely unexpected moment and cold not react. We were unlucky at that moment and then we tried hard to change things around but we didn’t achieve it. We must forget this game and move on.”
About a potentially positive result: “We thought that we could get something good out of this match. We figured that if we could prevent our opponents from scoring we could have gone home with something positive. But as I said, we conceded a goal at a completely unexpected moment. The Champions League is a competition with many important teams and we have shown to the world that we have potential. We will keep trying for the best positive outcome in the two remaining games.”
About Megyeri: “Megyeri showed today that he is ready. We took advantage of the opportunity which he deserved and he did really well. I believe that the future is all his.”
About the situation in Greece: “What is going on in Greece is really bad. It is something that has been going on for a few days now and we are going through some tough years. Today, we tried to offer some joy to our Greek fans and to all fans of Olympiacos. We are sad we couldn’t accomplish our goals.”

“Just before lunch, we were watching a video of Dortmund and I was told that I was going to play in the match. However, I have a standard routine that I perform before every match so it was nothing different this time. I did exactly the same as always, there was no difference. I was confident, especially with all these players and this atmosphere. The only bad thing today was the result.”
About the goal conceded: “There were many people in front of me and I only saw the ball in the last moment, when it was too late to react. We plan to continue playing in Europe and that is why we will try to do our best up to the very last minute. We still have a chance.”

«We were not affected by the atmosphere. It was a really nice atmosphere but I believe that this early goal we conceded was the one to decide the winner. Things are very difficult for us now. We have two more games which seem like two finals and we need to get all the points we can in these remaining two games so that we can rank third. We had some opportunities to equalize the game to 1-1 and get a point. I think we really could have done it. As for the hand, it was a clear penalty.”
