He said: “I think it was written in the stars for me and Tomas from when we moved to West Ham. “I don’t know how to describe this journey. It has been magnificent. [In the build-up to the game] when I saw on social media what is happening in the last few days in Prague, in the town square, everywhere was full of West Ham fans, I was so proud. They all deserve it!
“We won 14 games from the 15 and one draw, so it is not 100 per cent but we take that. And against Fiorentina, it was all about winning the game, and we did it! It is magnificent and I appreciate it so much. When I finish my career, I will always be connected with the West Ham community and I will be visiting West Ham games regularly with my wife, of course!”
