As always, we kept pushing until the last minute, and I think we ended up earning a draw.
We weren't as good as last week, we gave them a lot of balls.
It complicated our game, especially in the Champions League.
But it's still a very important point, especially when you look at the rankings.
(On Rüdiger) We know how strong Antonio is in the box.
I saw his injury, and honestly, I've seen better things in my life.
I hope he recovers as soon as possible
