The words of Olympiacos’ coach in detail:
“We really fought today, we had absences but we tried as hard as we could and we gave everything we had. We also had a foul on Dräger that wasn’t awarded on City’s goal. However I’m proud of our effort”.
On the absences: “It’s extremely difficult that some of these players will play soon. We’re waiting for Bruma and some tests to come out negative but in the near future it’s difficult. The new system was a solution with the players I had for this game. However, we had just a few days to work on our system.
Manchester City blocked us a lot. It would be unfair to talk about few chances in today’s match against such a good team. Doing so I would be unfair to my players, who gave all they had”.
On the death of Diego Armando Maradona: “It was very unpleasant news. He is one of the players who made football the thing we are passionate about. He was the player who made the difference. This is a great loss for our field. We must give our condolences to his family”.
