Partizan boss Gordan Petric after the game:

-This defeat partially complicates our battle for knockout stage but we have this final game when we can turn things in our favour. We were technically poor tonight, our passing was poor. We kept losing possession too easily, got scared a bit. Nice didn`t press us hard or threatened us too much but we allowed them too much possession.

We didn`t deserve anything tonight, even a draw wouldn`t be fair result as Nice was a better side and deserved to win although we were close to get a point, especially with dubious offside decision instead of a penalty-kick for us in the injury-time.
