‘It’s an incredible feeling because nobody believed in us’
Garnacho, who scored the opening goal of the match, had this to say to BBC Sport: “It’s an incredible feeling because nobody believed in us.
“We are a team. We are all together with these incredible fans. It is a special moment for us.
“Me and Kobbie [Mainoo] got the goals, but all throughout we fought as if it was the last game of our lives so we are very happy.”
