“We are a compact and balanced team. We conceded little but we also created little. We preferred to maintain balance so as not to concede too much. All in all, however, I consider it a good performance, let's take this point home.” Thiago Motta sees the glass half full and who knows if it wasn't for Rogers' goal canceled out in the 93rd minute, a very fresh thrill in the immediate post-match in Birmingham, which would have changed everything a bit, from the mood to the ranking scenario.

The first 0-0 draw in the Champions League for the Lady came against Aston Villa, the fifth of the season; only Conceicao made Emery and Martinez tremble, while Koopmeiners still fails to make an impact: “Up to today the match against Stuttgart was the most difficult, the only one in which they prevailed and we suffered. How is Koop? He's playing in a difficult position, finding spaces between the lines against teams like that isn't easy for him, even on the other side with Andrea or Thuram it was difficult… At the moment with the players we have available he has to give his all contribution too in a high part of the pitch; he has already done it and can do it. He is a special and different player, he can play many roles and he transmits a lot to the team. I am very happy to have him and he gives me peace of mind when I see him then it puts me in difficulty and in the end I don't take it off and it stays until the very end.”

“We now have 3 games to qualify. It's an important moment in which we have to play every game to the maximum as we have done up until today. We'll do the math in the last game. We have many commitments between the championship, the Italian Cup and the Champions League – concluded Motta – but let's move forward with our idea.”
