Atalanta attacker Luis Muriel was pleased with his strike in their 1-1 draw at Europa League opponents RB Leipzig.

The first-leg quarterfinal draw leaves La Dea in a good position with the return to be held in Bergamo.

“The goal was good, I enjoyed it, but I would rather it had contributed to a victory," Muriel told DAZN.

“The draw is a good result, we had the chances to win and so did they, we'll fight it out for the second leg.

“RB Leipzig are a really good team, we need to play at this level in the second leg and rely more on our attack, which is our main strength. We have what it takes to win."

Muriel added: “When I play in a more central position, the coach asks me to be a reference point, but my characteristics generally are to cut inside from the left to shoot with the right foot. I do that often and fortunately it went well this evening."
