On Vini Jr.'s celebration after the winning goal
“I was far away. I always turn around and celebrate with the crowd because I’m alone. I’m glad that Vini Jr. dances. Let him keep dancing because that means he scores goals.”

His crucial save at 1-1
“I saw a photo, and the truth is I made a good save. It went through the legs, and I was down well, ready to stop it. I think it’s in my genes from my parents, who played volleyball, and I played it as a kid. It’s a technique I used at Chelsea. These are techniques we sometimes use, and they work.”

Opponent in the round of 16
“You know that the day after tomorrow, it’ll probably be City. I played against Sporting Portugal in 2015 with Chelsea, and it’s a nice stadium too. They’re also a tough opponent; they’re doing very well in their league. I hope we can change it. It’s true we’ve been playing against City for many years, and it’s a dream match, but let’s see if for once it doesn’t happen.”
