“Incredible. This team doesn’t have a ceiling. We don’t have to look at our rivals, we are ambitious because we want to be in Europe. I think the team has played a great game; maybe not lucid at times we’ve played two games away from home in a row…I think we are in good shape for everything that is to come.”
🤝 On the same wavelength.
