Olympiacos coach Michel did not hide his delight after his side’s win over Juventus in their third group stage match of the Champions League.
The Greek outfit had successfully powered past La Liga champions Atletico Madrid on matchday one, and rebounded from a loss to Malmo by securing a slim 1-0 win in front of their own fans on Wednesday.
A key part to their victory was their solid defense, with goalkeeper Roberto being the star of the show as he produced some good saves to keep the Bianconeri’s attack at bay as Massimiliano Allegri’s men sought to get back into the match.
“[Naturally], I’m very happy with this result and how my team played today,” he stated in a post-match press conference as reported by Tuttomercatoweb.
“We won a difficult game by working together well as a group, but more important, our goalkeeper [Roberto] had a great match. It’s never easy to beat [a team like] Juventus and we will all definitely remember this effort with great satisfaction.”
The Spanish shot-stopper’s heroics were not unnoticed by his compatriot, who hopes that the 28-year-old’s stock will continue to rise, especially on the international front with the Spanish national squad.
“I am hoping that [Vicente] Del Bosque will be tracking him closely.”
