Nedeljković and Mijatović: The Champions League is a dream, but the IMT is also important

Nedeljkovic was centimeters away from scoring the first goal, the ball hit the post.

- I'm sorry that the ball didn't go just a little bit into the goal, considering that the defender of Leipzig hung... I think that at 3:2, we could attack and reach a draw, because we were really a better rival in the second half time. Nevertheless, Leipzig is a serious team, many quality individuals who have shown that they can decide the game with a move. However, in Belgrade in front of a full Maracana, I think we can achieve a good result. Before that, we have a game with IMT on Saturday, which is extremely important and I believe that we will win with the full stands of our fans. My big football dream was to play in the Champions League, still in the jersey of the club I support, I am overjoyed and proud of myself - said Nedeljković.

Mijatović created a chance for Lučić right after coming in, and it could be said that he dealt with Leipzig's strong stoppers on an equal footing.

- I dreamed about playing in the Champions League with Zvezda and thank God that it came true. Thanks, of course, to the coaching staff for the opportunity, but also to the fans who sang for 90 minutes so that we felt like we were playing in Belgrade. I'm sorry that the result was not positive, because I think we deserved it. The second half is the recipe of our game, I have no doubt. We respect Leipzig, but we can't wait for the second leg in Belgrade, in front of a full Maracana. Until then, it is also important that we win in the Superliga, and the first challenge is already on Saturday against IMT. I believe that with full stands, we will record a positive result - concluded Mijatović.

The match with IMT is scheduled for Saturday at 18:30 at the "FK Voždovac" stadium.
