"We had belief to score in the second half. But we didn't want to take too much risk because we know that they have quality as well. We felt like we deserved to win. Personally, I feel like we're creating quite a lot. As a striker, that's bang on what I want."
"We know that it is one of the most important games for AEK and its history - perhaps for Cyprus, as well. We now have a better chance of qualifying than seven days ago. It will definitely be difficult to qualify but it is not impossible. We know they are a team from the Premier League, have amazing quality and are favourites to win the Conference League."
Crystal Palace drew 0-0 with Cypriot side Larnaca in their Conference League last-16 first leg at Selhurst Park. Striker Jorgen Strand Larsen felt Palace deserved to win and should have been ahead by half-time, noting they created numerous chances. Strand Larsen, a £48 million signing from Wolves, expressed satisfaction with the team's attacking play despite the goalless result. Larnaca remained unbeaten in the competition with four draws and three wins. Center-back Hrvoje Milicevic acknowledged Palace as favorites but expressed belief in Larnaca's qualification chances, hoping their home crowd at the AEK Arena would provide crucial support for the second leg.
