It’s now two goals in two games for Beto, who was beaming after his strike downed Fiorentina 1-0:
“It was a fantastic game. We played with heart and soul. Football is a team game and our hard work saw us get the win.
“It’s always great to play at home. The fans are so passionate, even more so than before. I’d like to thank them for this evening – they were top drawer.
“As a team we’re nearly at 100% but not quite. I’m still suffering from fatigue. But I’m happy – my two goals have been the result of everyone pulling together. Without the lads’ help I’d be goalless. Gerard Deulofeu laid it on a plate for me today.
“We prepared really well for the Fiorentina game with the coach. We knew that it would be a challenging game, and not just on a technical level. You need to give your all in these kinds of games.”
