THIERRY HENRY

"In the first 10 minutes, we didn't do what we were supposed to, but we adjusted, and we kept our structure well afterwards. Then, we scored some good goals. We finish some great moves today, including the second goal which started from the goalkeeper. At the end, it's always great not to concede and score two goals. Being at home and playing in our stadium is great. I like this stadium and its fans, and there's nothing better than having fans. But what's most important now is that we can go home, and not back to our room in the bubble. You go back to your normal routine as a player, and that's a plus you cannot value."

LASSI LAPPALAINEN

"It was great to score a goal, and even just get the start, considering it was my first start in almost 11 months. We're very clear about the way we want to play and the tactics we need to employ. We managed to use what we do in training in the game today and get the win at the end."

SAMUEL PIETTE

"We were happy to be back at Stade Saputo. The fans in the stadium were noisy and we heard them loud and clear. That had an effect on us, and it was really appreciated by everyone. Our chemistry was there tonight. We didn't have the ball as much, but we were up 2-0. We applied our game plan and they couldn't create too many opportunities."
