The Swiss side surprised Europe with their impressive 2-1
Champions League victory at Stamford Bridge, and the striker believes opponents
should now be wary of his team.
Basel match-winner Marco Streller has branded his side's
stunning 2-1 victory over Chelsea at Stamford Bridge as a 'miracle'.
Streller capitalised on poor defending at a corner to
beat Petr Cech at his near post and seal the win for the Swiss side, who had
trailed to Oscar's first-half opener before Mohamed Salah levelled with 19
minutes remaining.
Chelsea had not previously lost a Champions League group
game in almost 10 years, and a triumphant Streller told Sky Sports: "We
always expect it, but we knew it would be a tough game.
"After [Basel got back to] 1-1 I felt Chelsea had a
problem and I said to my boys 'listen, we can win here' … and they listened to
me! I want to say it's a miracle. Now we are getting more experienced and we
can win here in Chelsea.
"It's unbelievable. I think people in England will
know that we are a team to be reckoned with."
Basel coach Murat Yakin made it clear that much work
still lies ahead for his side if they are to qualify from Group E, which also
contains Schalke and Steaua Bucharest.
"We will remain humble now and know that all we did
was win the first game," said Yakin.
"[I owe] A huge compliment to my team. After years
we have finally managed to win a game over here. We will continue to focus on
one game at a time."
