"It was a really tough match. Sporting played good football and didn't make it easy for us. We're all very pleased for Alphonso Davies."
"We certainly dominated the first half. The first 10 minutes after the break were more difficult. The composure impressed me, though - we didn't become hectic. Then we score the equaliser from a set piece and decide the game through a second set piece and the wonderful goal from Lennart Karl. It was the tough match we expected, Sporting are a good side. We're delighted that we won, it was a very big step. It's nice that Alphonso Davies was able to play his first minutes. A rehab like that over eight months is extremely arduous, also for the mind, so it was a nice moment to get the first minutes and then be fully back in January."
"After going behind we stayed calm. We got a lot of chances through our pressing, and in the end the second half was very solid."
