"You play football to write great stories. I'm proud. I had great assists from my team-mates and I just tried to finish the job.

"When I'm on the pitch I'm the happiest man. I just try to be patient, keep the faith and bring something else to the team. It is always special to play in the Champions League and it was an important game to finish first in the group, so I'm pleased to help the team to win.
