On tonight’s match: “On our part, we got a very good result and we had a very good performance. We started very well. On the second half we didn’t manage to score more goals, but it was a fantastic night”.
On the following matches: “We have 7 points. We have to give everything we got, to give our best, as we do always, on the following two matches. We want to qualify for the next round. This means that we’ll have to enter in those two matches with all our strength”.
On whether he feels luckier lately, considering that it has been easier for him to score: “I had an injury, as you know, on the last two matches. The truth is that the team started and had many opportunities on the first matches, without scoring as many goals as the opportunities. Everybody has been trying to change this, and to make the most of the opportunities created. I’m also doing this. Things are starting to get fixed. We’ll do everything in order to make a good season”.

On tonight’s match: “It was very important to get the three points. We were fortunate to get ahead early. I think most of the games that we will get ahead early things will go somehow like this. We play offensively, we create many opportunities. I think when we score soon we also release ourselves. When you unlock the match easily, you can also offer a good show”.
On the beautiful goal he scored: “Kostas’ cross was very good, I had managed to get a little further ahead. Then I took a step back. I didn’t have time for nothing else. I didn’t see it had entered. I only listened to the fans, because the way I fell I couldn’t see. But it’s ok, the important thing is that it was a nice goal and that I scored again after two months. Everything went well today”.
On the following matches: “In this competition, in order to qualify you must also make a big win. If the qualification is being played in the last game, on our stadium, with this intense atmosphere, with these fans, with this passion, I think the chances will be 50-50. Before that, we must also make a good result away at Betis. But as I’ve said in the past, you win the matches one at a time. This is also the case in the league. From the match following OFI on, we have been finding ourselves. We create opportunities. We play well. We will be steadily moving forward”.
