'Things got difficult for us in the second-half but the team were able to respond,' explained the Colombian

Luis Muriel, the scorer of Sevilla's second goal in the hard-fought win in Turkey, analysed the game: 'There are no easy games in Europe, we won 6-0 at home and it was an error to think that it was going to be easy today. We played a great first-half but with two isolated moments in the second-half the game almost got away from us.'

The striker continued evaluating the game and Sevilla's ability to overcome the draw that the game was heading to: 'There was the sending off in the second-half and the goal and that changed the direction of the game. Things got difficult for us with the draw but the team were able to respond. We couldn't let the game go after our work in the first-half.'

'I wanted to let Promes' shot go in, he produced a great bit of skill but if I don't finish it off the defenders would have cleared it,' explained the Colombian regarding his goal.
