Good evening Wilfried. How do you feel after this success?

I am very happy with this victory and the match we had today. We had a big team against us who played well on the ball, but we defended well and showed a remarkable state of mind.

I actually had good feelings, but as I often say, it's teamwork, collective! We worked a lot together to obtain this result, and tonight it was felt on the pitch. We really needed this victory!

Wilfried SingoOn his feelings

Beyond your goal, did you feel that you put in a big performance?

I actually had good feelings, but as I often say, it's teamwork, collective! We worked a lot together to obtain this result, and tonight it was felt on the pitch. We really needed this victory!

Will this success do you good after a complicated period?

We are happy to bring back this victory, because lately we have had difficult times. It will do our morale good, even if we will have to quickly get it out of the way to concentrate on the next match that awaits us in Ligue 1 against .

In any case, you have validated your ticket for the play-offs…

Honestly, I don’t even know (smile)! We have one match left against a big team, Inter Milan. So we're going to prepare this poster well and we'll see how it goes. It will be very difficult opposition again, but the objective will still be victory. There will be a very good formation opposite, so it is not a given, but anything is possible!

It's “my guy” Lamine Camara who takes the corner for Thilo (Kehrer) who heads it for the first time. The goalkeeper made a good save, but then I felt the blow and I went for it!

Tell us your goal…

It’s “my guy” Lamine Camara who takes the corner for Thilo (Kehrer) who heads it for the first time. The goalkeeper made a good save, but then I felt the blow and I went for it!

Tonight's performance is also reassuring on the defensive level!

Yes, it’s true, we were able to correct our mistakes. We reacted well, which I am very happy with. The criticisms? It happens in football, but the most important thing is to overcome them, to surpass ourselves, and that's what we showed tonight by being solid. It was important for the coach, for the group, but also for everyone, because it was a bit hard in the head, so it really makes us feel good.


Radoslaw Majecki's reaction

Good evening Radeck. How are you feeling tonight?

It's good to be back, especially in the Champions League, and above all it's a victory and three very important points for the team! This will give confidence to this group, and we must continue on this path. We needed to regain this confidence, especially in front of our supporters. I have to say it's a special feeling.

Because now we are in a good position in the standings of this Champions League. We needed to regain some confidence as well, and we did that with the three points.

Radoslaw MajeckiOn the importance of this victory

Do you think you've shown that you're back?

A goalkeeper always needs to make saves to feel important. So I'm very happy tonight! The stop in front of Watkins? He hits to my right and I dive to deflect the ball. It was a nice stop I admit (smile)!

Why was this victory so important?

Because now we are in a good position in the standings of this Champions League. We needed to regain some confidence as well, and we did that with the three points. Our goal? It's about winning the next match!

How did you feel about Philipp during your absence?

He was very good. Since his arrival he has proven that he deserves to play for AS Monaco, and we fight every day to play. A goalkeeper, whether it’s Philipp, Yann or me, needs confidence once again. We all feel that way, so it's a good thing to perform well in a match. I'm just trying to restore the confidence that the coach has in me. I try to do my best!

I am very happy to find victory alongside the team. We were keen to get back on track, it's nothing but happiness and we hope that it will continue in the championship from now on.

Christian Mawissa's reaction

Good evening Christian. What is your feeling after this precious success?

I am very happy to find victory alongside the team. We were keen to get back on track, it's nothing but happiness and we hope that it will continue in the championship from now on. Despite the bad times, we remained confident and united. Every day, we told ourselves that we had to do the best we could and become better. It's a big success today, so everyone is happy.

What worked well against this Aston Villa team?

Everyone wanted to win, everyone fought like a lion on the field. We communicated well and we all had the right mentality, the starters and the substitutes. We can be proud of that!

What is your goal now in the Champions League?

We don't get excited, we stay humble and we take the matches one after the other. We'll see what happens next. Inter Milan is a very good team, but we are also one. We know we can get a result there.

When experienced players like them come back from injury, it always feels good and it showed today. Wilfried also scored and Denis responded in the middle. We are a good group, all positions are lined by quality players.

Christian MawissaOn the importance of the returns of Zakaria and Singo

Have the returns of Denis Zakaria and Wilfried Singo done any good?

When experienced players like them come back from injury, it always feels good and it showed today. Wilfried also scored and Denis responded in the middle. We are a good group, all positions are lined by quality players. When they weren't there, their replacements did the job, but we were unlucky at times.

Did you want to win for the coach too this evening?

Despite the defeats, we always stayed together. We were united because we are a family, and the coach is obviously part of it! He always defended us and always told us that he believed in us, so we were keen to give back to him tonight.
