Yeah, I'm so happy not only to have him in the Champions League squad, but also it was a tough decision. It was a big game tonight and I wanted to start Dom, but we need to take clever decisions like we've done throughout, because we have been pushing him to the limit.
So we know every sign, every experience says that it was the right thing not to start him. So I'm happy that it turned out to be a very good decision.
First of all, I was very happy that he scored the goal. I think, actually, he looked like a threat. He almost got an assist with the first one that was disallowed. He was very involved in that. Great action. I think he has had great actions throughout the game. So I'm very happy that he got the goal and I said to him, please start scoring against others than your former clubs, that would be nice.
But we know when you come to a new club, a new country, it's never straightforward and never in the Premier League. I hope this will give him some confidence.
I think, first of all, very happy for the performance. I think the players showed great character, their mentality. We basically had 12 available players for Dortmund in this game and in both games the players stepped up.
And I think this game we were more or less in control from the beginning to the end of the game. I think that's a big thing. I need to say, we've seen some of the results in the Champions League tonight. We've seen some of the results throughout the league phase. There's no easy games. So we're sitting here with 17 points, ending, finishing fourth in the group stage, sixth sheet.
I think it's very impressive, but throughout the game today I think we were good in the high pressure. I think we looked strong when we defended low. I'm very happy how we progressed with the ball and how we got quick up the pitch. And then, of course, still working on creating, but I think we created quite a lot today, which I'm very pleased with. So, yeah, very, very happy with that.
And then, of course, the fans I think were fantastic. Very happy, so many of them travelling in numbers and the support throughout the game.
