It was a difficult game and this would be a big game if you have the ambition to go far in this Champions League, but today and the real truth is that they were better than us. We need to try to find how can we come back and continue to work.

Too bad for the final outcome, but overall we can be proud of how bravely we fought against such a strong team. I think we prepared well, played in accordance to our agreements, but at the end we missed just some small details to grab a win. It was a great handball event, and I would like to say thanks to all of the spectators for the amazing atmosphere.

We were playing a really good game after 40 minutes. We lost concentration in a couple of minutes and against a team like Barça you cannot do that. So in seven to eight minutes, we lost the game.

A great handball match. In the first half we were really equal. Both teams played really well, especially in the attacks. In the middle of the second half, there was a really important moment for us when Emil (Nielsen) saved a fast break and that changed the game for our side.

We would like to see this kind of atmosphere in every handball game. We are very happy with the win tonight. It is obviously a really tough place to win. I thought that a lot of teams will lose points here, so we are really happy with this. It was a game with a high tempo, a lot of goals. Playing with fast breaks, we managed to score more goals in attack.

Our goalkeeper, Mirko Alilovic, was fantastic. He had many important saves and it was also important that we could make a big difference in the first half. Then I think in the second half we controlled the game. This victory was really important for us. We played under pressure, but we gained a great win. We have to build on this.
