Beyond their desire to show that they deserve their place in the Champions League, the “Pirates” have shown impressive performance in each match, maintaining a surprising intensity and maturity for a team with no experience in these competitions. Eric Roy, the coach, highlighted the control and tactical preparation of his team in the match. “I am proud to see that, although we are rookies at this level, we managed to live up to it in intensity and impact,” he commented after the game.
