00:00To then have that moment of missing a penalty in the final and then going to win another one, what was that like for you, that redemption?
00:09You know when we lost it, the whole Champions League season 2013, the motivation was actually the pain of that defeat against Chelsea,
00:20which pushed us into the final and then in the end we won it.
00:25And then when the final whistle-on-on came and it's over and you realize actually that you hold that trophy in your hands and lift it in the air.
00:37It's obviously something special but kind of like you achieved your goal because we were literally like chasing the trophy for years,
00:46we played in four years, three times the finals, so that was quite good actually.
00:50And then to hold it in your hands and also share it with teammates who you actually know since 15 years and played along together, that means a lot.
01:01Was it ever in your mind though, you know that missed penalty, did you ever like relive it along the way thinking I need to make up for this?
01:07Oh yeah, I'm playing in many times. Especially when we lined up and the end zone started, I always had pictures in my brain about the defeat against Chelsea.
