"No games in the Champions League can be classified as winnable, so we can't afford to let off in our final two games,"
"We need to get our points so we can finish in as strong a position as possible."
"It was an intense game. Against Newcastle, you can always expect an intense game. I think we showed character. Conceding the equaliser was a big blow for us, but we fought back to make it 2-2 and tried to get the winner. Unfortunately, we weren't able to get it."
Jarrell Quansah urged his Bayer Leverkusen team-mates not to ease off and insisted every Champions League game is tough, so points are required in the final two group matches. Leverkusen fought back to draw 2-2 with Newcastle United after Alejandro Grimaldo scored an 88th-minute equaliser at the BayArena. Leverkusen will face Olympiacos and Villarreal in their remaining league-phase fixtures, with teams ranked between ninth and 24th qualifying for the knockout play-offs. Head coach Kasper Hjulmand was absent for personal reasons, and assistant Rogier Meijer praised the team's character despite failing to find a winner.
