Partizan boss Aleksandar Stanojevic after the game:

-It`s quite unpleasant to lose like this. It`s a fact Feyenoord is a much better side and this was our the best we could do at the moment. They are on a higher level and everything is pretty much clear regarding this tie.

We have a league game soon and it`s on us to try and pick up, we`ll see if we are good enough to do that.

We were good in all departments before this game but it`s either that we were poor tonight or Feyenoord is a really good side. They were dangerous in first half too, reaching our box with ease, making a lots of opportunities. It`s hard to defend when you have an opponent with total of 20 shots. We conceded second goal soon after we scored our second and it was hard to pick up.
