PSV Eindhoven boss Phillip Cocu revels in Champions League progression

PSV Eindhoven manager Phillip Cocu has described his side's progression to the knockout stage of the Champions League as a "great achievement".

The Dutch champions made it through the group phase following their 2-1 victory over Russian outfit CSKA Moscow.

"We worked hard and the players never let their head down even after falling behind. This is a great achievement for us," Cocu told SBS6.

"It was not an easy game. You know that you will not get a whole lot of chances, so you know you have to take them. It is great to win like this. The players did everything within their power to progress.

"It says something about our strength at home that we have won all three home games. It's great that PSV are through to the next round. I think I might celebrate with a few glasses of wine."

PSV progressed as Group B runners-up behind Wolfsburg, condemning Manchester United to Europa League football and CSKA to European elimination.
