“We started one way, they changed a little bit, so we adjusted immediately. The players dealt with all the conditions – the weather and other things – in a brilliant way,” he added about the team's performance.
“In some moments, we were able to maintain a high tempo; it was not possible to maintain for 95 minutes because of the weather. But they handled it in a fantastic way.”

The Italian also singled out two-goal hero Joao Pedro for his performance and also delivered the bad news of Moises Caicedo’s injury to the fans, but is hopeful he can recover on Sunday.
