What they said after the games. . .

"The key was the first 20 minutes. I had confidence because we were creating chances; then we made a mistake, and everything changed. We had to score a goal before the other team - and if we didn't it would be more difficult."

- Liverpool manager Rafael Benitez

"We needed to be lucky. If you are not lucky you cannot beat a team like Liverpool. Not only today, but they (Liverpool) have a problem to score - maybe it is a mental problem."

- Benfica coach Ronald Koeman

"Tonight was a demonstration that you can play a great 0-0. They went at it, and so did we. To play two games against Real Madrid and not concede a goal shows how remarkable the spirit has been in the team."

- Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger

"Jens' (Lehman) save changed the game. It is amazing! We are going through to the quarter-finals."

- Arsenal striker Thierry Henry
