<i>(interviewer) Mason, first[br]of all, congratulations.</i>

0:00:02.250,0:00:03.840
<i>How big a win was[br]that here tonight?</i>

0:00:03.840,0:00:05.808
<i> Yeah massive win.[br]</i>

0:00:05.808,0:00:07.350
<i>We knew how tough[br]it was going to be.</i>

0:00:07.350,0:00:10.770
<i>They're a very good team, but[br]we've obviously bouncing back</i>

0:00:10.770,0:00:12.133
<i>from a difficult game.[br]</i>

0:00:12.133,0:00:13.800
<i>I feel like we showed[br]a lot of character</i>

0:00:13.800,0:00:17.310
<i>tonight, showed a lot of[br]passion, desire to win.</i>

0:00:17.310,0:00:18.990
<i>And we knew the[br]occasion, how big</i>

0:00:18.990,0:00:22.020
<i>it is to get off to a good[br]start in a two-legged game,</i>

0:00:22.020,0:00:23.760
<i>but this is only half done.[br]</i>

0:00:23.760,0:00:26.580
<i>This is only half the job,[br]but it's obviously a good lead</i>

0:00:26.580,0:00:27.750
<i>going into the second game.[br]</i>

0:00:27.750,0:00:28.800
<i>(interviewer) You[br]mentioned character,</i>

0:00:28.800,0:00:31.558
<i>lots of that in abundance, but[br]also professionalism as well.</i>

0:00:31.558,0:00:32.350
<i> Yeah, definitely.[br]</i>

0:00:32.350,0:00:36.540
<i>And I think, the game[br]management we showed today,</i>

0:00:36.540,0:00:38.400
<i>the experience that[br]we have in the team,</i>

0:00:38.400,0:00:40.278
<i>I feel like that come through.[br]</i>

0:00:40.278,0:00:41.820
<i>We have a lot of[br]young players, but I</i>

0:00:41.820,0:00:45.480
<i>feel like we're experienced and[br]we know how to manage a game,</i>

0:00:45.480,0:00:47.550
<i>even though it's a--[br]it's a big stage,</i>

0:00:47.550,0:00:50.280
<i>we stepped up tonight, all[br]of the players as a team.</i>

0:00:50.280,0:00:53.010
<i>We was together,[br]and we got the win.</i>

0:00:53.010,0:00:55.575
<i>(interviewer) Your all important[br]first Champions League goal,</i>

0:00:55.575,0:00:56.700
<i>what does that mean to you?[br]</i>

0:00:56.700,0:01:00.370
<i> Yes, it's very[br]important to me.</i>

0:01:00.370,0:01:03.030
<i>I've had a lot of games in the[br]Champions League over the two</i>

0:01:03.030,0:01:03.610
<i>seasons.[br]</i>

0:01:03.610,0:01:05.430
<i>And I haven't scored[br]until tonight,</i>

0:01:05.430,0:01:09.390
<i>so it was something that[br]was maybe a bit on my mind,</i>

0:01:09.390,0:01:11.950
<i>but I never tried to force it.[br]</i>

0:01:11.950,0:01:14.730
<i>I just let it come naturally[br]and tonight, I felt like it did.</i>

0:01:14.730,0:01:16.490
<i>And that was in my[br]mind as soon as I</i>

0:01:16.490,0:01:18.990
<i>turned to just get the shot off[br]and try to get it on target.</i>

0:01:18.990,0:01:21.150
<i>And-- yeah, but[br]happily for me it went</i>

0:01:21.150,0:01:22.320
<i>in the-- in the far corner.[br]</i>

0:01:22.320,0:01:24.320
<i>(interviewer) Such an[br]important goal is out there</i>

0:01:24.320,0:01:26.350
<i>with one of your best as well?[br]</i>

0:01:26.350,0:01:28.590
<i> I haven't seen[br]it back, but I feel</i>

0:01:28.590,0:01:30.330
<i>like it was quite a fluid move.[br]</i>

0:01:30.330,0:01:33.840
<i>Obviously Jorgi's passing to[br]me, and then turn and, finish.</i>

0:01:33.840,0:01:35.090
<i>It's an important goal for me.[br]</i>

0:01:35.090,0:01:38.010
<i>It's first Champions League goal[br]and it's in-- in a big game,</i>

0:01:38.010,0:01:40.350
<i>so it could be up there, yeah.[br]</i>

0:01:40.350,0:01:41.850
<i>(interviewer) Talking[br]of fluid goals,</i>

0:01:41.850,0:01:43.590
<i>quick word about your mate[br]scoring that second one.</i>

0:01:43.590,0:01:45.925
<i>My goodness, composure, the[br]finish, had it all didn't?</i>

0:01:45.925,0:01:49.140
<i> Yeah, I just said to[br]him then after the game,</i>

0:01:49.140,0:01:50.900
<i>brilliant composure from him.[br]</i>

0:01:50.900,0:01:52.470
<i>I didn't expect it to be fair.[br]</i>

0:01:52.470,0:01:53.887
<i>I thought he was[br]going to shoot as</i>

0:01:53.887,0:01:55.333
<i>soon as he got[br]past the defender,</i>

0:01:55.333,0:01:56.250
<i>and he was one-on-one.[br]</i>

0:01:56.250,0:01:59.370
<i>I thought he was going to[br]try outside left foot or--</i>

0:01:59.370,0:02:00.330
<i>yeah, I didn't know.[br]</i>

0:02:00.330,0:02:03.582
<i>As I seen him, take the touch[br]and go past, I was thinking,</i>

0:02:03.582,0:02:04.290
<i>wow, he's gonna--[br]</i>

0:02:04.290,0:02:05.440
<i>he's gonna put it in this.[br]</i>

0:02:05.440,0:02:06.690
<i>A brilliant finish, and yeah--[br]</i>

0:02:06.690,0:02:08.910
<i>I'm very happy for him as well[br]to get his first Champions</i>

0:02:08.910,0:02:09.509
<i>League goal.[br]</i>

0:02:09.509,0:02:11.550
<i>(interviewer) And I wanted ask[br]you about the coaching from up</i>

0:02:11.550,0:02:13.650
<i>in the stands here as[br]well, the squad players.</i>

0:02:13.650,0:02:15.420
<i>We had Thiago, we had Kepa.[br]</i>

0:02:15.420,0:02:17.303
<i>They're so vocal and[br]they're behind you</i>

0:02:17.303,0:02:18.720
<i>from the first[br]minute to the last.</i>

0:02:18.720,0:02:20.550
<i> Yeah and obviously[br]you sitting here,</i>

0:02:20.550,0:02:22.710
<i>you'll be able to hear them.[br]</i>

0:02:22.710,0:02:24.240
<i>We can hear them on the pitch.[br]</i>

0:02:24.240,0:02:27.000
<i>And it shows how[br]together we are as a team</i>

0:02:27.000,0:02:28.680
<i>through difficult[br]times, through times</i>

0:02:28.680,0:02:31.138
<i>like this, when in games, you[br]can go through tough periods.</i>

0:02:31.138,0:02:33.990
<i>And we're all together[br]as a team, people</i>

0:02:33.990,0:02:36.870
<i>on the bench,[br]people in the stands</i>

0:02:36.870,0:02:38.880
<i>all shouting or trying[br]to help everyone</i>

0:02:38.880,0:02:42.350
<i>and that's the-- the[br]winning mentality we have.</i>
