"It's a deserved qualification, a great evening, we're happy to have lived it with our fans. We are now more aware of our strength in the Champions League compared to last season.

"We are more calm and we're aware we can do well. Now we have to continue like this, also in the [Italian] league."

The Viola's next match in Serie A is at San Siro against Scudetto holders Inter, who were beaten 2-0 by Barcelona tonight.
