Partizan boss Zoran Mirkovic after the game:

– We eliminated one great opponent, we didn`t enter the game as we should have but we were aggressive after conceding an early goal and played as we agreed back in the dressing room before the game. Once again, we had a downfall towards the end of the game, lacking fitness a bit.

It was kind of a black hole in the last 15 mins and that worries me a bit. We had the result, we had everything and as much as you are tired you need to react differently. After all, we won ourselves two games against Besiktas and we have a week to prepare for this upcoming tie.
