"I thought we were the better team. We had a lot of chances to score the second goal, and I think if we do that, the game is over. I wanted to show from minute one that I'm there. Of course, I have a lot of respect [for Díaz]...but I just went into the game fearless and I wanted to show that from the beginning."
"I thought it was going to go in...maybe next time. It was close. I can't say much about [the World Cup]. What comes, comes. In the moment, I play for Germany in the Under-19s, but you never know. We brought that energy today just to show Arsenal: we're ready for Tuesday!"
