En el vestuario todos queríamos que siguiera Pep. Se lo dijimos a él cuando decidió marcharse por motivos que respetamos y entendemos
Congrats to Carles Puyol on his 34th birthday! If he doesn't get injured, he can have a long career. Football is his life. I remember when Puyol arrived. You saw immediately he was ready to take on the world.
but now what we want to do, is to win it for him.

We hadn't picked it up at all, a week ago I would have bet everything on Pep continuing
But he pulled through and look where he is now. All the players from the first to the last are marvelous human beings. I spoke to Carles Puyol and Isaac Cuenca
You are always motivated to win a title
He told us on Friday morning, right before the training session
The fact that Tito will be the new coach is the best news we could get ... This is the continuation of a project.
You are always motivated to win a title ... but now what we want to do, is to win it for him.
You have shown us the way
We have the Champions League within our grasp and we can reach another final. We have to be very careful on their counter-attacks and set-pieces.
We now have to focus on Tuesday. It’s a competition we are keen to win and we are close to another final ... We have to be very aware of their counter-attacks. I can see it being a similar game tactically to the Madrid match. It would be a very attractive final if we meet Madrid again. We’d have to see ...

we now have to focus on Tuesday – it’s a competition we are keen to win and we are close to another final.
this has been a very good season and now we have two competitions left to win – the Cup and the Champions League
It was the worst surprise you could hear ... We spoke to him after the coach made the announcement, and what was said will remain with us. But he’s very strong. He’s the one trying to encourage us, rather than the other way around.
When you see him it’s him who is keeping our spirits up
This is hard to take ... It was the worst surprise you could expect to hear. We spoke to him after that, and obviously what was said will remain between us. But he's in good spirits.
When you see him, he is the one trying to encourage us. He's very strong, as he showed last season, and he'll show it once again ... I'm sure he'll beat this.
We had a meeting minutes before going on to the pitch ... It was a rude awakening. Eric was at the meeting. We then talked to him, and logically that stays in the dressing room.
