We win as a team, lose as a team and celebrate as a team. It didn't matter who got him out on the pitch, we just wanted him out there.
No excuses. It is a difficult game, it is a derby, but we have to win because Man United is not so far behind.
When you don't win games, yeah, you lose confidence. That's normal.
I think finals are there to be won, you know the feeling of losing a final is really bad. I prefer to lose a semi-final, quarter-final because I know I will forget... But the feeling of losing a final stays here forever. Even if you win two, three, four, five it stays. You know, I’m too scared to lose, so I give everything to win.
I have won many trophies in my time, but nothing will ever top helping win the battle for peace in my country.
Quite simply, I'd be really proud to win this Cup. A continental title means a great deal.
I'm having a great night. I'm very hopeful that we will win the Premiership and I hope we do well against Wigan this weekend.
Unfortunately in the emotion of winning the game my comments have come across partly in the wrong way. I want to make clear that I don't dive.
I think this is a big final and everybody is waiting for this game.
We are ready ... but I think it's 50-50. They are a good team so we'll see what happens.
If such events should occur (again), I would no longer take the risk to come and play for the national team.
Those people who are saying that are just playing mind games and trying to turn up the pressure.
Every game is getting more difficult. Every team respects us more and defends more, looks only for the counter-attack, tries to reduce the time of the game, and fights with their strengths to make everything difficult.
When I scored the two goals I was very fit and now I'm coming back, so I can't promise to score two goals
