"I think we saw a very good first half, but the second was even better. We created a lot of chances and I think we did a very good job today. These are positive things. Khvicha Kvaratskhelia scored his first goal and I hope it's the first of many.
But what I like most is the mentality and character of all the players. Not only when we have the ball, but it's also important to have a defensive mentality and to fight throughout the match. Monaco are one of our direct rivals, and I think we deserved this win by playing a very good game against a Champions League team. I'm wishing them all the best now in the European Cup, and for me this win is confirmation of our good form."

"I think we try to play against everybody, it doesn't matter the team's name. We respect everybody, but we play for the win and we go onto the field to fight until the end. We deserved to win today and I think the result was totally what we deserved.
My goal? I think it's difficult to describe these emotions, I'm very happy, especially today. I'm working hard to score with this amazing team and I'm very proud that today I scored to help the team to win. I'm very proud that the team won today. Thank you everybody who came to support us, it was an amazing feeling to score in this stadium with these amazing fans."
