This match comes at the perfect time. We're playing at home and the team is charged and confident. We shouldn't have any fears.

It was an important win for us. We have extended our lead over Inter and need to keep that in the coming games.

They have excellent potential and maybe the Champions League took something out of them. It will be a tough test as they rested some of their players that can make a difference.
players rotation
This continual rotation of players is very important to make everyone feel useful.

I've signed up until 2008 and I am happy. I preferred to stay here. There was a temptation from Real Madrid but I am staying here.

We didn't deserve this defeat. I think we have played at the same level as Barcelona. We've had good opportunities to score but we've missed them.

We're heading for our third final in four years and we want to do our very best to not let that go.

We are going through a delicate time and we must overcome this situation as soon as possible. We are making mistakes and as usual in football you pay for them.

I'll take account of things at the end of the season. Now I'm expecting a good finish to the league season.
cristiano-ronaldo player unique
Ronaldo is a unique player for all of his talent and his professionalism. He is a player who is extraordinarily consistent.
arm control defender gradually hand match penalty suffered took
We suffered a lot in the first 25 minutes. Then we gradually took control of play. It was a match we could have won, and also lost. The penalty was not sensational, but the arm and the hand of Bayern defender should not have been there.
believe freedom greater help leg losing
We believe we can get to the final. Paradoxically losing 1-0 in the first leg will help us play with greater freedom and relaxation.
