"This is a club that's proved over the last few years that it can deal with big games in this competition. We knew every game would be like a final and we won three finals."
On overcoming the odds to win in the Stade Velodrome, the 27-year-old added: "We knew all about Marseille's great fans, so it was important to get an early goal.
"That gave us confidence and our second came soon after. It killed the game and after that their supporters weren't so noisy anymore.
"Everyone put in a great performance, all over the pitch. We played the way we know we can, we deserved to win and we deserve to be in the next round."
