Losing three internationals in this match were the reason for our poor second half,

These are two great clubs and history is history. We admire George Best as well, but that has no influence over tomorrow’s game.

We won an important game but not a decisive one.

We know we can surprise them, but we must also respect Barcelona and acknowledge that they have a great team. Nothing is impossible.

It’s going to be hard in Liverpool, but sometimes we play better against big-name teams.

It’s hard enough to play against Barcelona. It’s harder when you’ve got the referee against you.

We did something people did not expect. It was a great job.

We know no fear. We know where we can hurt Barcelona and we’re going to battle until the last minute to surprise them.

I said before the match that I did not see them scoring three or four goals on the basis of their recent matches. And when you create three or four chances in the first 20...

Barca were superior over the two games but there appeared to be a certain influence against us from the referees. It is hard enough to play against Barcelona but even harder when the referee is...

We were aggressive at the start and worked well, although we were lucky to score from our first opportunity. We kept our composure after they were reduced to ten men and were content to simply...

In the first half we played well but we suffered a goal from a corner. In the second period we changed the team but Ricardo Rocha was sent off and our work became harder. This...

In the second game we’re going to do the same thing, fight until the last minute. Barcelona will have to attack and it will be a game more or less like this one.

We were very nervous in the first half. We surrendered too much possession. We can still spring a surprise in Barcelona.

Anything is possible in football. Everything is open. We’re going to fight until the last minute – just like we did in the first game.

We knew Manchester United were not in the best form at the moment and we came to attack and played very well,

In the second half we controlled the game more and had a couple of chances to equalize.

We’re disappointed with the result. The only positive thing is that after the two matches we have an advantage as we won 3-0 (in Amsterdam) and lost 2-1.

I think Barcelona showed in two games against us what they are made of. Of course they are capable of beating Milan.
