OTHER Kasper Dolberg is convinced that RSC Anderlecht were the better team on the pitch during the match against AEK Athens. Despite the Purple & White's dominant and threatening style of play, which put the opponents under pressure, the match ended in a disappointing draw. However, the Danish striker emphasizes that this result completely jeopardizes their chances for the second leg in Greece: "We have to secure qualification there, and that will be an important game for the group and the rest of the season," said Dolberg.


For him, scoring in the second leg is crucial, and he also emphasizes the need to be more effective in front of the opponent's goal. Moreover, the postponed match against Gent offers the opportunity to fully concentrate on the challenge ahead. Dolberg added that his future at RSC Anderlecht isn't dependent on qualifying for the Conference League.

Nathan De Cat also expressed his disappointment with his team's performance against AEK Athens. "Despite a good performance, it wasn't enough to secure the victory," he said. However, De Cat is still confident about qualifying: "The second leg will be crucial, but I remain positive," he said. "These kinds of matches give us energy. We weren't stressed at all and played with a lot of confidence and controlled the game," he summarized. Regarding his partnership with Enric Llansana in midfield, he is clear: "It's going smoothly and helps the overall team dynamic."
