00:05For sure, especially against the opponent that we played in their home. I don't think

00:09they have lost a game in 18 months. They've been in top form, they've been better than

00:13anybody they've played here. So to play to the level with the determination, the purpose

00:18and the fluidity that we've done today, I'm very pleased.

00:22The performance was there a few times and when we have played big teams and we have

00:26played PSG and we were exceptional again, we played Bayern, we were exceptional, we

00:29made some mistakes, it cost us. Now it's Inter, now it's this level. That's the level that

00:34we have to be able to cope and you have to make it happen. That creates belief, it creates

00:39that the next one the players will be better prepared and that's when it is a consistency

00:44because the ability to do it is there.
