“I’m the captain of a team of real men,” said Pellegrini. “I recognise the value of my teammates. Roma can and must improve in many things, but the identity of sacrificing ourselves is that a real group of men and cannot be taken away by anyone.”

“Leverkusen have strong individualities and dribbling. They were supposed to attack, but as a family we defended by putting ourselves there to suffer and we accomplished a feat.”
