Slot praised Chiesa's performance, saying it was great to see him give the fans something in return for their support. He also highlighted the electric atmosphere in the final minutes of the game, calling it "unbelievable" and "very special".

However, he emphasized that all substitutions, including Chiesa's, were made to ensure players who couldn't play for 90 minutes were given a chance to contribute. The manager expressed his satisfaction with Chiesa's performance, saying it was always positive for his future at the club.
