Mendilivar said: "The result is because they are a very good team, a better team. Our game is respectable, we fight and show that we can face them head-on. We are excellent, although I believe we can be even better and make teams of this level more difficult."

For the next round of Champions League challenge to Barcelona, Olympiacos goalkeeper Zorakis said: "We have to do something big to go to Barcelona. We know the quality of Barcelona, but we will fight for the best possible outcome."
