"Today they showed what is needed from them in the Champions League, as I said they needed to be our 12th man.
"They needed to sing, they needed to bring their drums and to make the atmosphere as hostile and uncomfortable for the opposition.
"That'swhat they did. "I think this is what helped us, even in the second half under difficult conditions.
"It's not easy as it's against a very good side, don't forget that this is Al Ahly that we are talking about.
"This is the team that last season finished third at the Club World Cup.
"They just this season narrowly lost out to Real Madrid and mostly participate at a Club World Cup level.
"So don't forget that, don't forget that today we beat a very good side."
