On the game: “It was really hard to be honest. We suffered a lot but this is what Brentford are — a really tough team.”

On Rodri’s injury and his entry:“They were playing really good the first minutes. Rodri is so important to us and I hope he’s well soon. I came in without warming up which is really hard but I felt good.”

On Haaland’s goal: “Erling always scores. We can rely on him always, every match. He is doing an amazing incredible season.”
