“the first goal motivated and freed us”, assures Hegerberg (Lyon)

Ada Hegerberg (Lyon striker): “We all knew we needed that first goal to get into the game. It really motivated us and freed us up to continue. We have been realistic about the situation. It gave us some good cards to keep pushing forward and scoring the second goal. I was very disappointed not to have been able to play the first match (2-1 defeat on March 23 in Turin, editor’s note). I did everything to prepare well for the second leg, tactically and mentally. We believed in ourselves and in our qualities. You have to come with a lot of rage and motivation to win this type of match. Besides, it’s nice to play in front of such an audience in a very nice stadium. It’s a plus. We will find PSG for the sixth time in the Champions League but it is very positive for French football to have two French clubs in the semi-finals to continue to develop in the championship. We are starting to get to know each other well with PSG. We still have room for improvement in the game. It will be up to us to prepare well. We only have a few weeks to do it.»
