Saiss hails Wolves keeper Patricio for Olympiacos win

Wolves defender Romain Saiss has hailed the season form of Rui Patricio.

The Portugal goalkeeper was outstanding for their Europa League defeat of Olympiacos.

Saiss said: “We know his quality. He's a really, really fantastic goalkeeper.

“He has been for many years now – with us and Portugal. It's really good to have a class goalkeeper like Rui.

“He saved us with two good saves, and for a defender, of course, it's a pleasure to keep a clean sheet."

Focus now turns to Sevilla for the quarterfinals.

“It will be tough, honestly. We know that. They've already qualified for the Champions League," said Saiss.

“They've been really good in the Europa League for many years now.

“But we are also a good team. We have a lot of quality, character and experience. We're in the quarter-finals because we deserve it.

“It'll be a good game. We just have to be ready to fight. Anything can happen and we want to go further in the competition."
