"We were blown away by Lamine's goal. Spectacular. But the important thing was to win and gain confidence for Wednesday's game against Copenhagen," he told DAZN"
"We knew it was going to be very difficult against an opponent that presses well and wants to play. We weren't at our best in the first half, but in the second half we were able to score the goals."
"We tried to press high in the second half to win the ball back as quickly as possible, and that's how the first two goals came about."
"With eight goals in the thirteen games I've been able to play, and you think I'm not at the same level as last season? I'm always looking to get back to my best."
Yamal scored an acrobatic goal that sent Hansi Flick's side to the top of La Liga and above Real Madrid. Raphinha and Dani Olmo also contributed goals to secure the win. The goal was described as spectacular and the victory was viewed as important for building confidence ahead of the midweek Copenhagen fixture. The opponent pressed well, and the team performed below their best in the first half but improved after halftime. A higher press in the second half helped regain possession quickly and produced the first two goals. Raphinha has eight goals in thirteen appearances and aims to return to his best form.
