Cristiano Biraghi comments on the victory against Brugge
Take the equalizer with the extra man? It should be the other way around… she was tough, I’m happy for Nzola, because he had had big personal problems. We are happy for the victory, but we know it will be very tough on the return leg […] What group are we? If this group strength wasn’t there, we wouldn’t have made two semi-finals. There is a great company, and now we have a month ahead of us to do our best […] Return? They are strong, they beat Genk 3-0 and 4-0. They are organized and have a lot of quality, they will have home field advantage but it will be a battle for everyone. We will do everything to go to Athens to play for the cup.
