“I was waiting for this goal, and I think it will do me a lot of good,” Barcola said (h/t Paris Fans). “It’s a source of pride. I was really waiting for it.”

“It was a pretty tough win, a really compact team that defended really well,” Barcola added. “It was complicated to score this first goal, and legalization hurt us. We didn’t give up, and this goal at the end of the match is rather deserved.”
