It is very important that we managed to ensure our Champions League position 2 games before the end of the season as it is a strong indication of how well the team performed this year. Outrunning Chelsea and Leeds, two big Premiership clubs is not an easy task and we needed to work hard through to achieve it. Returning to the Champions League not only will give the club prestige but will help our game develop as we will have to compete at the highest level possible. Of course we will need to go through the qualifying games. I am fairly confident that over these two games everyone will do what it needs to be done to get us to the groups. Once more I would like to thank our fans for their support. I am sure that they will be delighted watching the team being among the elite teams of European football.
