“We knew it was going to be difficult. Celta are very tough opposition, it’s a hard place to come. It’s not easy to win here.

“Now we have to enjoy it and rest up ahead of the Chelsea game. We knew they play very well in the middle of the park and we would have to work to have the ball in there.

“We created a lot of chances we didn’t take but we scored the penalties and won it, which is the most important thing.”
