"Not even me gave one pound to the victory today. We could not win against Nottingham Forest home or West Ham away, we lost 5-1 aggregate against Madrid. But the players prove again that when required to do something during a season in which we have not been consistent, today we achieved it."
"James [Trafford, the goalkeeper] saved us in the first minutes. Everybody made a contribution. These competitions we need everybody involved. Today I made one substitution, yes, and it is never over at 2-0 but I felt the team was there."
"I think what I said in the previous days: the team has been something underneath [the very best] but I can smell that they can flourish and winning helps to anticipate the process a little bit."
