STEFANO BRAGHIN
"Today's victory, on the day in which Ale and Ricky are remembered, inevitably takes on an even stronger and more important value. Alessio and Riccardo, even if they are no longer there physically, continue to train with us every day in Vinovo and there is no competition in which they are not with us. On such a sad day for the club, we dedicate this success to them. Coming to today's three points, they are very important because they allow us to play for qualification to the quarter-finals on the last day of the group stage against a top-level team like Lyon and to think about a situation like this after five matchdays is difficult to even imagine! In addition, this win has allowed us to climb to ninth place in the European rankings and it is an extraordinary result taking into consideration the fact that we didn't even exist five years ago."
JOE MONTEMURRO
"Tonight, first of all, the performance was important, and then the fact that five goals arrived and it could have been even more, and then consequently the victory. We sent a good message to our opponents. These matches are the ones that have to be won on paper, but in football nothing is taken for granted and we managed to show our value. It's difficult to say if this is our best moment of the season, but I can certainly say that I have seen a team growing from the point of view of the game and it has matured a lot. Sometimes the results come and sometimes they don't, but we have to be satisfied."
CRISTIANA GIRELLI
"Winning like this in the Champions League was simply fantastic and having brought home the three points also thanks to four of my goals made this evening even more special. We are very happy with the result because we were good at unlocking this match right away. We knew that Zürich would arrive here at the Allianz Stadium without any pressure, trying to play their game, but we had the ability to take control of the game from the start and the final score was the natural consequence of what has been put into practice. We all know the character of our team by now, but every time we manage to demonstrate our strength. We are still in the running in a really complicated group and at the Groupama Stadium against the reigning European champions we will play for qualification to the knockout phase. It will be like a final for us and we are ready to give everything. I've always felt good, despite the fact that the goal before the match against Roma hadn't arrived for some time, but I've always been confident. Clearly it was important to break free and I'm happy that it happened in these last two matches."
VALENTINA CERNOIA
"We wanted to kill the game straight away, given the difficulties in unlocking the away match. I would say mission accomplished, we were very good and today's performance was fantastic and we needed an evening like this. I experienced a bit of a particular moment, but I can say that I'm working hard and well and I'm totally available to the team. We will close 2022 with a match that prepares itself and to win in Lyon it will be necessary for the whole team to take to the field with the right attitude, the one that has allowed us to obtain so much satisfaction"
CECILIA SALVAI
"The result was our first objective, but I also think that this 5-0 victory was the natural consequence of an excellent performance. We're happy because we've been playing great football for a few games and I think this is one of our best moments since the beginning of the season. Now, we'll play for something extraordinary in Lyon, we'll need the best Juve possible and I'm sure we'll give our best. We're in good form and want to do something special."
