About the outcome of the game

There are some things we have to work on, we have to improve, but it's not so bad to have a draw against a very good team in a stadium like that, of course, deep down we know we need to play better. ”
About the overall performance of the team
Nemanja Matic: "From the bench, I think we lost control of the ball, especially in the first half.

At the end of the half, we knew the opponents had more control, they were in the lead and there were more chances in the first half. ”
"But what we did was get back on the pitch and see what we could do with the ball. I think we didn't do well enough in possession before, we looked much better and more solid in the second half, we scored the goal that gave us a positive feeling. ”
About the next round of home games
Nemanja Matic: "The most important thing is the way we play, I believe if we can improve on the ball part then we will have more control and we will win the game. We respect our opponents, but we know we represent one of the best clubs in the world and I believe we will give our all and we will be able to qualify. ”
