“We won away 1-0 and played very well,” said Slot in his press conference.

“It’s special to be here able to say with two games remaining that we have a chance of reaching the next round, despite being in the same group as Napoli and the current Liga leaders.

“All three clubs are very close in the table right now. You can make all the calculations you like, but I am convinced that if we lose tomorrow, then we’ll be out.”
