Rico: ‘Thank God for that save…’

Sergio Rico felt Sevilla played “a great game” to hold Juventus, but “thank God I was able to make that late save” on Alex Sandro.

Deep into stoppages Alex Sandro got his head to a Dani Alves cross, but Rico palmed it off the line at the base of the near post to secure a 0-0 draw in the Champions League opener.

“Sevilla played a great game, as we know how to compete and adapt at any moment to what the game requires.
