The team celebrated face-to-face with the fans after the game. So it was another special Champions League night for the team, wasn´t it?
Yes, it was. We put in a great fight and a good performance. I think we deserved to win because we played really well, especially in the first half.

How much of a blow was the equaliser?
We conceded the goal through a mistake. This happens, but we then showed spirit and scored the second goal.

It was a picture-perfect cross from you that set up the second goal. Please describe the goal and the emotions afterwards...
It was unbelievable. After Aubameyang had sent me through, I saw Robert unmarked at the far post. I chipped the ball to him and he finished it off in an impressive style. The emotions afterwards were fantastic. It was a very important win for us today.

How important was it to prevent Arsenal from building a runaway lead in the table?
It was very important. If we hadn´t won today, it would have become difficult for us. But now the group is very much open. We have two home games now, and we need to win them both.
