A guy like Luis isn't racist. He chose the wrong words and comments like his usually remain in the dressing room. |
And it causes less problems than making an ugly gesture to the crowd. |
Barcelona have learned from last year. We know we have to defend and we know we need to keep hold of a lead. Now the dream is very close and I hope we can make it come true. We were under pressure throughout the whole match and that made it very difficult. But that pressure and concern will mean nothing compared to the joy we will feel when we are at the final. It should be a good final against Arsenal - the team that scores the most goals against the team that concedes the least. |
But I'm not going there thinking I'm going to take it easy and save myself for next week's return match against Milan. |
Everyone has to take responsibility. |
Football is sometimes like this. We played really well but wasted far too many chances tonight...we should really have eliminated them already. |
From kick off I had to put up with the abuse, and celebrating the goal like that was better because I was able to get rid of all my rage. And it causes less problems than making an ugly gesture to the crowd. |
From the start of the game I had to put up with the chants and celebrating the goal the way I did helped me get rid of some of the anger. |
I can't see the Eiffel Tower yet. We're only halfway there. Soccer is so crazy that things can turn around at any moment. We have to keep calm heads even if our hearts are hot. |
I don't fear Madrid but I do respect them. The same as any other previous year. |
I find it positive to be seated here next to great players, who are part of the dream of thousands and thousands of Africans. Just a few years ago, I was kicking a ball in a street in Cameroon. |
I just can't understand why the fans often behave this way. I had to put up with racist chanting right from the start and celebrating a goal that way was better than making an ugly gesture to the crowd as it let out all the anger. |
I think I did what was asked of me and I will continue to do so. If I do it badly, then you can make your own mind up. |
I'm very happy with the way it went tonight - it's my fourth goal. |
If it is just the clubs that are fined, then people know they can get away with it. We need to work together to find the answers, the law and the legal system can help deal with the problem too. |
