“The boys were great. They made sacrifices, played well without the ball and we won a big game. Taking on Torino after the break isn't easy. We stayed in the game. We started well then dropped off a bit against a strong side. Well done to the boys. Games are played in two phases and often change in the last half an hour. The boys, who came on, did well, as did those who came off. Torino kept up the intensity for 60 minutes and it wasn't easy.
Thuram? He's done well. He arrived full of enthusiasm and has adapted well. He's started well and he needs to keep this going. Schuurs? Obviously, it's awful for him; he's a great player and a top lad. This injury is unfortunate. Probably Barella didn't deserve a yellow. He was playing well and I then needed to decide between him and Mkhitaryan for the sub and the booking made the decision for me. But he was playing well, full of running and ideas. We play Salzburg in 72 hours - they beat Benfica in Lisbon. We need to prepare as best we can; these will be two vital games. We play them home and away within 15 days; it'll be a really tough game against a young and energetic side.
Lautaro? He's working hard. He came back a day and a half ago; he played really well and is lucky enough to play with a team that always looks to set him up in every game.”
