Emery on the win
It’s clear after the first match the result was not good for us. We needed today a big effort.
We needed to continue scoring because if they scored one they would have a possibility.
We had a good performance, with a good focus for 90 minutes.
On Koscielny injury
I think it’s precaution. We are going to wait until tomorrow. I hope he is OK for Sunday.
It’s muscular. He started to feel not good.
About the impact of the victory on team
It was a good test, a good challenge. The first match we deserved more, but that can happen. We had chances we didn’t score.
Today we didn’t concede a lot of corners or free-kicks and we pushed and carried on.
On winning UEL title
It’s very difficult to win this competition. The last three who won it were Atletico, Manchester United and then Sevilla played Liverpool.
There are big teams.
On Ozil
Well. I said to him carry on, be available like today, like the last two weeks.
Today I am happy, it was like what we want from him.
On Guendouzi
His development is like we want. He has a big ambition, big quality. Sometimes we need more quality with him and for him to be more stronger in midfield.
But his development with us is very important and he’s playing with big consistency. His quality is very impressive.
On Guendouzi transfer speculations
I am surprised. I don’t want this.
On Ozil's performance level
Be available, carry on. Today he showed us he wants. If he is available like the last two weeks, his experience like today is good and his quality and capacity.
His combinations are good.
