France international Digne told Canal+ at the final whistle: "That was our game plan.

"We managed to open the scoring, which is the hardest thing to do. Afterwards, we're playing a great team. They also had some flashes of brilliance, like Désiré (Doué)'s incredible strike.

"We'll have to do the job in the return leg, open up a bit more, but it's doable."

The 31-year-old left-back also said of his former club: "They're a very good team as well. I knew a different system, that was a few years ago."
