“I tried to stay relaxed and calm, because I knew it was the penalty for the trophy,” the midfielder on loan from Chelsea told Mediaset Premium.

“I am 21 years old, I felt all the responsibility on my back, it was the most important kick of my career, there were big emotions and I am very happy.

“It felt unbelievable, all the emotions came, I remembered when I was a child I dreamed of something like this, so I’m very happy.

“I dedicate it to my family, my friends and all those who helped me in my career.”

Pasalic is only on loan from Chelsea, so does this make any difference to his future?

“We will see at the end of the season.”
