"Mission accomplished"

Raúl & Torres: "Teamwork was the key to qualifying"

Carlos Cristóbal / Translation by Matthew Goltz

Raúl and Torres were both on the pitch when the captain scored the game winner, which proved enough to send the team through to the next round.

Raúl:
"We are pleased with the result and because we are on to the next round. We scored early and had to suffer at the end for the hard-earned won. Mission accomplished."

"BATE are very used to this kind of weather and they tried to use it to their advantage. We will now be more relaxed when hosting Zenit and we can forget about the Champions League until February."

"I am happy that the goal sent us throug to the Last 16. We need to continue working hard and improving."

Torres:
"The victory and points are all that count, but we also kept them from scoring. We scored early and knew how to hold on."

"Teamwork was the key to qualifying. We need to focus on working and improving. We cannot relax."

"It had been a while since I played. I played at home against Recreativo Huelva after several weeks of training with the team. I feel a lot better after playing two straight matches."
