"It was a pretty special feeling when you walked out in the stadium and the crowd were actually cheering for us, I've never experienced that and in such a big, big match.
"In the warm-up I looked around and I was like, the other teams aren't here so they have to be cheering for us."
"When you looked up at the crowd, I normally don't engage with the crowd, they were looking at us and a few were waving and giving us thumbs up and congratulations. I thought that was pretty special."

Joey O'Brien hails clinical Rijeka but rues missed chances as Shelbourne exit Europa League
Rijeka scoring quality goals and Shelbourne not making of the most chances that did come their way was how Joey O'Brien summed up his side's exit from the Europa League. On what was a raucous occasion at Tolka Park, the hosts, leading 2-1 from first leg, were eventually outdone late on as Ante Orec's goal on 90 minutes made it 3-1 for the visitors on the night and with it a passage through to the play-off round. For Shels, the play-off in the Conference League awaits against either Linfield, where they would renew acquaintances after meeting earlier in the Champions League, or Vikingur, with the Faroe Islanders 2-1 to the good ahead their second leg on Thursday evening. Despite trailing from the first leg, Rijeka were boosted by the return of their skilful No 10 Toni Fruk and so with it the expectancy that the tie was far from over. Fruk's brilliant strike gave the Croatian champions the lead on the night and an equally sublime finish from doubled their lead. Mipo Odubeko drew Shels level from the spot but Orec's turn and shot in the hosts' box settled things. Speaking to RTÉ Sport's Tony O'Donoghue, the Shels boss felt his troops managed the first half well and were powerless to prevent that moment of magic from Fruk. "We knew we were going to give up possession, they have some top, top players but I thought after the first 15 to 20 minutes we were fine," were O'Brien's early thoughts on the game. "We restricted them to pot shots from far out and then there was a moment of magic from a very good player. That put us on the back foot but as I said to the boys it's about managing halves of football and sometimes you get that. It's about getting to half-time and we got to half-time 1-0 down." "We then tweaked it and I thought in the second half we were good," he added. "I thought we were the better side. They scored from another moment of magic and then Mipo gets us back into it from the penalty. And then small margins; we had a chance to get a goal (from a Milan Mbeng header) at the back stick. Then they went up the other end, got a bit of luck and got the goal. It's a hard on to take but it is what it is." "You can't do anything about those goals, they were quality. A goal from 35 or 40 yards, you would probably tell a player at any level to shoot. To be fair to our lads they stuck at it, got the penalty. I don't think we went gung-ho for it after that It was a hopeful ball into the box [for the winning goal] that bounced up and it was a nice finish. They got that little bit of luck to get that winner." O'Brien's overall assessment by and large reflected what happened over the course of 90-plus minutes, in that he praised the extra bit of quality from the visitors, while rueing some of the chances his side spurned when in on goal. "People did not see how a good a team Rijeka were. The player that came back in from suspension - Fruk and with Petrovic returning - they are quality players. We had a great atmosphere here and fans wanted us to tear after them but at this level, up against players who can pass it about, as soon as you give them space they will make you pay. That was never going to be the gameplan. "As I said in the first-half we knew they were going to start strong and have a lot of possession but apart from a moment of magic for the first goal we restricted them to pot shots. "We had a threat early on, Ali (Coote) had a chance. It is what it is, maybe he could have gone down, but it was a chance. We had chances throughout the game; Mipo had a chance, Kerr (McInroy) had a chance. We didn't take them and they took theirs." And now it's back to Windsor Park on Thursday to assess the likely opposition in the upcoming play-off. "I will definitely go to Windsor, that's part of the game, you have to do your homework, so I'll have a look," O'Brien outlined. "It's a huge opportunity. The lads are hurting in the dressing room but you have to turn that hurt into going after what we want and that is the group stages."

Luis Enrique confirms he could have been Tottenham boss as he prepares to take them down in Super Cup with PSG
PSG are missing key player for match, with Gianluigi Donnarumma already axed QUE SERA Luis Enrique confirms he could have been Tottenham boss as he prepares to take them down in Super Cup with PSG LUIS ENRIQUE confirmed he could have landed the Tottenham manager's job before taking over in Paris. The former Spain coach staged talks with Spurs in 2023, while Arne Slot also turned them down when he was still at Feyenoord. 1 Luis Enrique claims he could have been Spurs boss before joining PSG Credit: AP Eventually, Tottenham offered the position to Ange Postecoglou and Enrique ended up moving to Paris Saint-Germain. Preparing for Wednesday night's Uefa Super Cup clash with Spurs, he said: 'There were some options in the last six months before I came to Paris and Tottenham was one of them.' Enrique has proved to be a massive success at PSG as they won the Champions League for the first time last season. But the 55-year-old believes Spurs will have a huge advantage here in Italy because they have had a full pre-season while PSG have only been back for a week. He added: 'I don't know what to expect. 'But we have had less than three weeks break and we started training. 'I don't know what the level will be. I don't know what we will pull out of the bag. 'I have to say it will be difficult to judge as Spurs recently changed their manager and the players have had some friendlies. BEST FREE BETS AND BETTING SIGN UP OFFERS 'I don't know what kind of game they are going to play. This is our first week back but it's not an excuse. 'It will be difficult to improve on last season as we won practically everything.' Tottenham meet Eze's team | Transfers Exposed PSG skipper Marquinhos, 31, said: 'Tottenham are in a better position. We are not at the top of our fitness levels. Tottenham will give everything.' Defender Nuno Mendes, 23, said: 'We are not as fresh as we'd like to be mentally, we're all coming back from holiday.' PSG midfielder Joao Neves, 20, misses the game due to a suspension.

Rangers progress in Champions League despite defeat
RANGERS PROGRESSED into the Champions League play-off after a 2-1 defeat by Viktoria Plzen took them through 4-2 on aggregate. The Light Blues took a 3-0 lead to the Czech Republic for the second leg of the third qualifier, but that impressive performance was split between a 1-1 draw at Motherwell and another damaging 1-1 draw at home to Dundee, which dented title hopes after just two William Hill Premiership fixtures. Russell Martin's men were again lacklustre in a tepid first half, but some life was injected into the tie in the 41st minute when striker Rafiu Durosinmi opened the scoring for the home side. Midfielder Lyall Cameron levelled on the hour but still gave up chances, and substitute Svetozar Markovic restored Plzen's lead in the 83rd minute, with Miroslav Koubek's side left to rue a series of missed opportunities to turn the tie around. Rangers fans had complained after another poor domestic performance and result on Saturday. Advertisement Martin made two changes, club captain James Tavernier coming in for injured right-back Max Aarons and midfielder Nicolas Raskin in for Joe Rothwell. It was a low-quality first half. Gers goalkeeper Jack Butland had to clutch a series of cross balls out of the air, although he was tested by Amar Memic's powerful drive from distance. Rangers striker Cyriel Dessers was crowded out in the Plzen box on a couple of occasions, although in the 29th minute he appeared to be barged by centre-back Sampson Dweh inside the box, but Polish referee Szymon Marciniak ignored penalty claims. Before that, Butland made a great save from Lukas Cerv, and when home attacker Prince Adu muscled his way past Tavernier, he should have hit the target but instead fired wide. However, Viktoria Plzen's goal did come when left-back Jefte all too easily allowed Memic to speed past him onto a raking free-kick and cut the ball back for Durosinmi to knock into the net from eight yards. Five minutes after the restart, Memic fired an angled drive inches past the far post before Adu's header was comfortably saved by Butland. There was more concern for Rangers five minutes later when Dessers had to be helped off and replaced by Danilo, and when his shot from a Mohamed Diomande cutback went towards goal, Cameron redirected the ball into the net from 19 yards. The goal should have settled Rangers down, but in the 70th minute, Plzen substitute Christophe Kabongo fired over the crossbar from 12 yards before Matej Vydra headed wide. And with 15 minutes remaining, after Rangers defender John Souttar had conceded possession needlessly, Butland made a great save from an Adu drive on the turn to prevent a Plzen goal before making another great reaction save from substitute Milan Havel's close-range header and a save from Vydra. The second goal did come when Markovic headed in from a Kabongo cross, but the overall deficit could not be cut. It was another step forward for Rangers in terms of their European journey, but Martin still has so much work on his hands with regards the rebuild of the team.
