Chelsea striker Olivier Giroud has shared his reactions after the first leg of the Champions League 1/8 final against Atletico 1-0.
“We came in with a firm intention to win the match, to play our game, we knew how to give them problems. We defended well, and we are very happy with the win, it’s a deserved win,” said Giroud to BBC.
“We know how important an away goal is in European competitions so I was happy to help the team win the match. We faced a great team, and I think we were focused and we knew their strengths. We need to stay focused and finish what we started. We were confident in our strengths.”
“I didn’t know what to think about the goal, I just focused on the shot over and was happy to see the ball in the net. I had no idea about the offside position, Mount said he didn’t touch the ball. Good for the team, good for me.”
