Noah Okafor (Salzburg goal scorer): “It was a tough, intense game. We fought, in the end the point is deserved. We’ve done everything, we can’t blame ourselves. Of course, scoring against such an opponent makes me extremely proud. Now we want to keep stepping on the gas and watch from game to game. We’re happy to take the point.” Andreas Ulmer (Salzburg captain): “The point is very important. We defended almost everything and fought until the last minute. We got the maximum out of it and we can be very satisfied with the draw. Anything is possible in a group, the chances of a threesome are a bit higher against Zagreb. We can claim that we’ll beat them at home.” Matthias Jaissle (Salzburg coach): “It’s something special to take a point with our young team here at Stamford Bridge. I am very satisfied with our passionate performance. We must not forget where we come from. We come to London as clear underdogs. How we defended and also tried to put pinpricks on offense. Just crazy. After the second day of play I’m not interested in the table. We scored points against two world-class teams. That’s really cool.” Graham Potter (Chelsea coach): “We’re disappointed, we had planned three points. Salzburg was very aggressive against the ball, had one or the other chance and a strong goalie. It’s two lost points for us.”
