"I'm really pleased with the match we played. I'm really pleased with the performance. I'm really pleased because football is all about emotion and passion. They [Madrid] scored to make it 2-1, and in the very next move - a corner and a goal. That fills me with a great sense of pride."
"I think the moment when we conceded [making it 2-1], and then we scored, shows the competitive spirit this team has. It shows our DNA. This is something we need to keep up, and we want to prove it again on Sunday, then next Thursday."
"Everything went wrong. The team fell apart after the first goal. We then found ourselves 2-1 down, and it looked like we were making a comeback, but the next goal from a set piece finished us off. They were deserved victors."
