Maignan had expressed himself this way at the end of the game: "In the first half, when I went to get the ball behind the goal, I heard the monkey verses and said nothing. Then they did it again, so I called the fourth man and explained what had happened. So è you can’t play. Not è the first time, we have to give an important message. A signal".

"Right now I wouldn’t want to talk to the people who did this, it wouldn’t do any good. To help all the players who suffer as much as I did, we need punishment. These are ignorant people, they need to stay home. Real fans come to the stadium to cheer, these things in soccer cannot happen”.

“I did not want to come back, ours è a great club and we have a great group. They all came to me, and after that we went on the field to win the game. The right answer was to get the three points. Right now I don’t look at the standings, we move forward game by game. È the second match of the return leg and we know how è important it is for us".
