Dimitris Itoudis, head coach of CSKA:
It is important that we took the 1-0 lead. There are a few factors in the game that we need to work on. It's playoffs time, and we haven't had games like this for a long time. Perhaps the last game of similar tension we played here against Zenit [on March 14]. Now we will watch the video, have a rest and prepare for the next game. Thanks to the fans who came to support us today.
