Al-Khelaïfi: 'I had total confidence in my coach'

Nasser al-Khelaïfi

"It's magnificent. Honestly, being in the semi-finals, winning here in Barcelona, it's a historic moment. A beautiful moment, a fantastic moment for us. It's one of the best moments of my life. It's special for us. We win here after having lost, everyone doubted, everyone criticised us. But I had confidence in my coach, my technical staff, my players, because we don't have just one or two players, we have a great team. I saw everyone together. Everyone had this desire to win, to take this victory. For the supporters too."

"That's what we've been saying since we chose our coach, we wanted to build a team with players together, to fight together, defend together, attack together. That's what we did today. Truly, it's one of the best matches we've played. It was truly a magnificent moment for us. I also want to thank our supporters, who were truly magnificent. I felt like we played as if it were at home. Really, I want to thank them because it was very important for us. Even after Barcelona's first goal, the supporters were behind the team. Truly, we are very, very proud. I am very proud of my supporters and I really want to thank them."
