I haven't scored for a long time and for a striker this is the most important thing. I'm happy that I finally managed to score, but it's sad that we couldn't win and we're out of the competition. We had a lot of scoring opportunities and Rb Leipzig used their only chance. This is what is most upsetting. 

Were Leipzig stronger than Zenit today? 

We were playing against one of the best teams in Europe, with good players, but we played very well against them. We fought to the end and could have won, we could have scored more than once, but they took their one chance. 

Was it more difficult to play without Kokorin?

We all know what Kokorin means to us, I hope his injury will not be a bad one. I can say that all our other attackers tried our best and to give our maximum for the team.
