Brighton boss De Zerbi: Beating Marseille my best moment here

Brighton boss Roberto de Zerbi was proud of his players after their 1-0 win against Olympique Marseille.

Joao Pedro's goal saw Brighton finish the group phase as top qualifiers for the round of 16.

De Zerbi said: "I lost my voice, I lost everything. It was an amazing game. We played amazing football. We deserved to reach the top of the table.

"We could have scored more goals but we are very happy, we are very proud, for the club, for Brighton, for our fans, for our players, for the people who work inside the club.

"This is the best moment in my time [here].

"The message is Saturday, Arsenal. Second one is I congratulated Adingra. He made a lot of mistakes but I love his attitude, his behaviour. The problem isn't making mistakes, it's after the mistakes if you try again. We are Brighton. We have to push, we have to try again if we make mistakes. I told them I'm really proud.

"We will play two games less. We want to dream. We want to prepare for that game for our best to win another step."
