Analysis: “It’s an unforgettable night for everyone at Torreense, for the people at the club, to have this quality in Europe and for us to be able to be competitive, as we talked about before in the game. It’s a lot for them too, for the fans, for what this club has been going through in recent times. I think it was a night in which everyone identified with what the team did on the field, in a game that has two completely different phases. I think we started the game well, 11 to 11 we were good, with more quality with the ball compared to the last game of the championship, we managed to find spaces and then, after the expulsion, we had moments of greater difficulty, we had to suffer a little, there were moments when we had to defend lower than planned, we had one or another difficulty defending the corridor, but we always believed, we always waited for our moment and I think it is an epic victory. I couldn’t ask for a better debut.”
Late triumph: “I’m satisfied with the three points, that’s what we wanted for the match, we want to continue fighting to dignify Portuguese football and I think that today we were at the height of Portuguese football and that all Portuguese can be proud of us. We keep our speech, everything the same, Celtic are next, so we’re going to fight with Celtic to do everything we can to try to score points and try to win the game, the math will be done at the end of the league phase and then we’ll see where we are, but let us dream because We want to continue doing beautiful things.”
Conversation about the father: “I spoke about my father, because I think that, today, I don’t know where he is, but it was a lot of the values he passed on to me, courage, personality, not being afraid, regardless of who the opponent is, where we are from and I’m very happy for this debut, for my family. I’m sure they’re thrilled. My technical team and I come from lower divisions, but we’re very proud of what my journey is and I want to continue having many more nights like these.”
