It was a difficult match, but it is supposed to be at this stage. Rangers were better than us in the first half, because they were more relaxed, but we improved a lot.

It was a penalty. The referee wasn't good tonight.
|
It was important to get an early goal and it was also an away goal which counts for double and could be very important for the second-leg.
|
Of course it's important to go down in the history, but we are already thinking about how we can get to the semi-finals. There is no limit to the ambitions of this team. Our dreams are being held in place by the hard work and dedication of the whole squad.

Physically he's not 100 percent because he's been out of action for 15 days. But he's really keen to play and his game is based more on technique than fitness.

The players are gutted, and with good reason. We were superior in every way, we had four or five chances to score ... and then we had the penalty.

They have very good statistics. But just because you don't concede a goal or lose in a long time it doesn't guarantee the same outcome in the next game.

This isn't a miracle or a dream. It's based on hard work and belief.

Understandably, the players are shattered. I'm very proud of my players, who were very superior to a great team.

Understandably, the players are shattered. We played such a complete game, we were very superior to Arsenal — even better than they were in the first leg. We deserved to be in the final.
|
We are so close to the Champions League final that it is inevitable that we give more importance to the match against Arsenal.
|
We are still in contention and I believe we can go back home and get the result we need.
|
We didn't play well, but the referee made mistakes all game long. When he blew the end of the game when we had a chance for an attack, he demonstrated his lack of impartiality.
|
We don't like to lose but there are still 90 minutes to play.
