Quotes
Alvaro Arbeloa
Real Madrid coach
“I've been booed a lot myself, and one of the things that makes this club great is the high standards demanded. We know what kind of week we've had, and the demands placed on us, and we have to take it in our stride because they know we can give more. I have no complaints about them -- it's on us to give much more at the Bernabeu. I'm going to work on improving Vinicius. I'm going to ask his teammates to give him as many balls as possible. He's the most unpredictable player in the world.”

“I believe the shouts are not from people who dislike Florentino, but from people who dislike Real Madrid. All Madrid fans know how fortunate we are to have him.”

Raul Asencio
Real Madrid player
“It was a very important day. Everyone wanted to turn the situation around. What happened in Albacete shouldn't have happened. We felt guilty and wanted to make up for it.”

Vincent Kompany
Bayern Munich coach
“Leipzig caused us many problems in the first half. They were clearly the better side. It felt like they were twice as good as we were. But the second half, the lads delivered. We ran 6 kilometers more. It was old-school mentality. Winning one-on-ones, running, going forward. We weren't afraid and really went for it.”

Luciano Spalletti
Juventus manager
“You tip your hat to your opponents, who brought home a victory that perhaps they didn't deserve, but sniffed out the opportunity and took it. Maybe next time we can learn from that and sniff out our chance too.”

Cagliari player
“A beautiful night that we'll carry with us. We faced one of the strongest teams, but we gave more than we had. It was a victory that came with plenty of suffering.”
