We showed very good signs in defense, we kept the score very low in most of the game and this gave us a push to show our talent in the attack.
But I never stand in the individual appearance. All of what we present is a product of teamwork. I have incredible confidence in my teammates. After all, together we have done so much and all I am interested in is helping them and giving them a push to achieve our goals”

The fact that in the final we will play against Panathinaikos, a “eternity” derby, I don’t care personally. I would be interested in anyone we played.
