Meeting
“It was a very complicated game. These are three very important points, especially after the break. In games like this, if you don’t score the second, it can get complicated. We’ve been good with patience and calm. It’s always difficult to attack a system So, there are few spaces, you have to be very neat. It cost us. The first half we were good, in the second we went down and we can’t allow that. We have to go for the second goal and be more ambitious. difficult”.

Record away from home
“Happy. We’re doing things well. It’s an important record that hopefully translates into titles. Happy because the team competes well, plays difficult games away and is getting them out. It means that there is work behind, that we are on the right track and without ms. If it is translated into titles it tastes better, but since there are none, it is anecdotal “.
Lewandowski and Ter Stegen
“It would be a very poor summary. We have been good in defense, in ball circulation… The first half has been good, in the second there has been a lack of rhythm. They proposed a very slow game. It is true that they are both at a level stellar, but the team has competed very well”.

“We have opted for the most natural and logical option. He knows the position, with a changed leg. Sergi Roberto is coming off some discomfort, he has not been one hundred percent all week. Balde has been fine, he could hardly turn, well in circulation… I think the defensive line has been very good.”
Piqué, starter against Inter
“Everyone can be a starter. We have a wide-ranging squad and we will rotate. I have already said both actively and passively that playing every three days is complicated, everyone is going to be important and they are going to have minutes. Piqu, Alba, Christensen have been at a very high level. The defensive line has been exceptional.”

Lewandowski
“Once again he made the difference, but also the defensive line and the movement of the ball. A correct game, without shining, but we took three very important points. In this stadium it will be difficult to get points. Lewandowski is a player with guarantees, but what I think of everything. He’s a goalscorer, a top player, one of the best players in the world, if not the best. In addition to scoring, how he works, presses, orders teammates…”.
