Sergej Jakirovic: “We won the league in Bosnia Herzegovina with seven games to go (with Zrinjski Mostar in 2022),” he recalled. “We won the league in Croatia (with Dinamo Zagreb, two years later), two games to go.
“So we haven’t had this before. Even the relegation battle with Kayserispor (last season), we did it with three games to go. This is first experience like this. But I have a lot of games (of experience).
“We have 10 people there (on the coaching staff). So it’s very easy. You have internet.”
Philippe Clement: “The players did amazing stuff in the last couple of months. They showed they were playing for this badge.
“Today they went behind, you are disappointed, but they dug in and went for the equaliser and after they went for the second goal.
“We were the best team in the first half. We should have scored two or three.
“In the second half, from the side it looked a clear penalty on [Mohamed] Toure but we don’t get that one. They are massive decisions that go against us.
“But I am proud of what the team is showing in mentality and quality.”
