“I don’t want to draw a Spanish side in the competition. Whoever we get will be very strong and it will be a tie just like this one.”
“We’re really happy. The lads are tired, but proud of what we’ve done. The important thing is that we’re in the next round,” the attacker added.
“You take a penalty knowing what you’re doing, just like we did last season. We did not miss a single one and that shows character, especially from the young lads in taking their responsibility.
“You have to say well done to PSV. They played a good game and they knew what they had to do. Without doubt their goalkeeper [Jeroen Zoet] was the player of the tie, in both games.
“We couldn’t create the chances we wanted to, but now we have to think in the future.”
