"The first goal was to arrive in the top-four. Now, we have to play two games. We have to try to win both. If we win against Jamshedpur FC, we can surpass them, but it will depend on ATK Mohun Bagan's match outcome. But now, we are happy. We will celebrate tonight in the hotel. After this, we will think about the next game because you have to keep going if you are in this situation. Let's see if we can beat an outstanding team like Jamshedpur," Marquez noted during the post-match presser.
