“Winning 0-3 at San Siro is special. It was a huge emotion, an incredible evening for all of us.”

Record Clean Sheet

The Nigeria international credited his teammates for their role in shutting out the opponent.

“For me, keeping a clean sheet is like scoring a goal. I’m happy to have kept three in a row, but it’s down to teamwork, which starts from the attack,” declared the shot stopper.

On Stopping Saelemaekers

Okoye also reflected on his save from Alexis Saelemaekers.

“It was a difficult save because I didn’t see the ball go; it was mostly instinct and also a bit of luck, because the ball then hit the crossbar. I’m happy to have helped the team like this. It’s my best save since I’ve been at Udine, along with the one in Frosinone,” added the shot stopper.
