Heynckes claimed that it is a huge success for the team to reach the last four in Europe considering the disappointing previous campaign the side had. He insisted that the players played with great determination throughput the
course of 90 minutes and thoroughly deserved to win the game.
The former Bayer Leverkusen boss added that Marseille was certainly not an easy team to beat as they reached the last eight after defeating teams such as Borussia Dortmund and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Inter-c39567 Milan.
“Making the semi-final is a great success at this stage of the season. We were very focused, despite the huge number of games we have to get through at the moment. Marseille didn't make the quarter-finals by accident. After all,
they knocked out strong opposition like Dortmund and Inter Milan,” he was quoted as saying in an interview.
On the other hand, Olic expressed his delight on scoring the two goals in the crucial tie against the former French champions. The Croatian added that he is pleased with his performance and is delighted to be back amongst the goals
for his side.
“It's a good feeling. I'm a very experienced player, but the stress before kick-off was positive. I'm delighted we've won and I've scored,” the striker concluded.
