Afterwards, Llorente said: "(Virgil) Van Dijk's goal can happen. What can't happen are two goals so soon. That's football. It's the first Champions League match and there's still a long way to go.

"They're a great opponent. They got into us very easily at the start and we have to try to resolve those issues."

On his two goals, Llorente added: "I'm thinking about the three points and winning. Today the two goals were of little use."
