Read what the winners and losers had to say after the clash between Basaksehir Istanbul and SK Rapid HERE!

Louis Schaub (Rapid double goalscorer): "I'm very happy that we took the three points today, over 90 minutes it was deserved. We scored two more goals for offside and had one or two good chances. It was a big weight off my shoulders, it took me a while to score my first goal. I'm pleased that I was able to help the team like that. It was a great win, everyone did a great job, so now we can enjoy the evening."

Guido Burgstaller (Rapid striker): "We sold ourselves dearly against a very strong opponent, played a good game and deserved to win. Now we're flying back to Vienna happy. I'm very happy for Louis. When you score two goals, it's absolutely outstanding. Nevertheless, I don't want to diminish the team's performance, everyone put in a very good performance."

Robert Klauß (Rapid coach): "I'm very happy that we won against a very strong team and have made a successful start to the Conference League. I think we played a very good game over 90 minutes and deserved to win. Baseksehir played exactly as we expected. My boys did very well, I was able to judge it even better from higher up, to take a closer look. We were very disciplined, coordinated very well and coached each other very well, especially when playing against the ball. We gradually found our spaces with the ball and got into the deep areas we wanted to get into. We moved well away from our opponents and that's how we created chances and scored goals. We implemented it really well, especially in the second half it was great fun to watch."
