All star players can be proud of their club based on tonight's approach at the Etihad, and the impression after the game and the 3:1 defeat against Manchester City in the first round of the group stage of the Champions League, was expressed by captain Aleksandar Dragović.
- Let's not lie - Manchester City deservedly won, but we fought and if we had been a little more lucky in the second half to not concede a goal so quickly, maybe we would have led longer and who knows... Well done to all the players who performed today, even for those on the bench who motivated us. That's how it has to look, and that's Zvezda. It is nice to play against Manchester City, they are the best team in the world with the best coach and we have been fighting for this for a year. It's a little less nice when you run after the ball for 90 minutes, you want to "hit" someone, to show off, but you're late. But we learned, and now we are turning to the preparation for the derby - began Dragović.
He is looking forward to the match that our club will play against Young Boys on October 4 at 9 pm at the Maracana.
- It will be a little final for us. Both we and they lost in the first round, but we play at Maracana in front of our fans - concludes the captain.
