Asked what his manager Unai Emery told him before he came on, Chukwueze said at his post-match press conference: “He said to me ‘just run. When you don’t have the ball, run, that is what he told me’.

The Nigerian international added, “It is not easy to win one of the favourites in the Champions League. Before you win the Champions League, you need to beat the best and look for the next game.”
