Donis praises his APOEL players

APOEL boss Giorgos Donis praised his side following the glowing performance in the 1-0 Champions League defeat to Barcelona on Wednesday.

“My players did an almost perfect job defensively and as a result we gave them few opportunities to score,” he told a Press conference.

“However, Pique’s goal hurt us. We could have conceded any other way and I’m sad that it came from a set-piece, although we might have done better with our chances at the other end.

“We were unfortunate not to have got a positive result against one of the best teams in the world. But I’m not complaining as there is no justice in football. It’s whoever scores a goal.

“Even so, it’s a good lesson for us in regard to the future. My players showed that when they are focused and want to do something they can.

“During a match a lot of things come down to mentality and we must continue at this level,” maintained Donis.
