"Very good team," he said post-game.
"I think they might be the best team in the world at the moment.
"Tonight is one more goal (for me). I'm happy I managed to score but we didn't manage to get the three points."
"We came against the first of the Champions League group so we knew it was going to be a complicated game even more so when we went to 10 men," he added. "It's frustrating, we wanted to hold on as long as we could but it's very difficult.
"Today wasn't our day. The togetherness. Everyone is very solid and compact. We want to play and play our game this is how we're going to get further."
