Dzeko, a brace and the MVP award: "A win we really wanted"

After playing scoring and providing an assist in the reverse fixture, Edin Dzeko bagged a brace in tonight's win over Viktoria Plzen, a result that saw Inter progress to the round of 16. Following the game, the Bosnian, who has found the net six times for the Nerazzurri in the Champions League, received the MVP award. This is what he had to say:

"Apart from the first 10-15 minutes, I think we did well. We knew what a win would mean, and we tried to get it until the very end. This evening, I did what I needed to do. It's my job. I always try to give my all, and it was no different in this game. Mkhitaryan's goal? Yes, I sensed he was behind, I ducked because I heard someone calling for the ball. I thought it was Dumfries and didn't expect him to be there; it was like half an assist.

"How am I doing? I'm feeling good and know that I can still play at this standard. Today, the whole team did well. We'd prepared for the match well, and progressing from the group with a game to spare certainly is extraordinary. Romelu's return gives us an added option, and we'll have an extra weapon for our upcoming games."
