It’s only half the tie, there’s a second leg to go.” “It’s about time it [his first Champions League goal] came. I’ve been waiting patiently. It was a good time for it to come. A good pass by Jorginho, I had space and I hit it. “I’m always working on it [finishing]. I don’t think you can work on it enough. I think I can improve on it and score more goals.”He [Ben Chilwell] showed great composure. I thought he’d shoot in front of goal but he took it past the keeper. He’ll be buzzing with that.”The job’s not done. They’ll fight for the next leg and we’ll have to give it our all. We’ll be ready.”
