For Tito, I wish the best in this new opportunity that football has given to him. We were together when I was a kid
Silva is like Lionel Messi and Cesc Fabregas ... He's a playmaker, a magician — I think some of his team mates call him Merlin. He's a delight to watch and makes the team tick. It perhaps shows the competitiveness of our game that he has not been able to maintain it throughout a full season, but when he...
This club and its players have shown in the past after big losses it can rebound ... We have to remain confident in our abilities and go forward.
He is like Lionel Messi and Cesc Fabregas. He is a playmaker, a magician - and I think some of his team-mates call him Merlin.
This club and its players have shown in the past after big losses that they can rebound ... We have to remain confident in our abilities and go forward, focusing on the remaining league games and then the cup.
It's going to be a disaster if he does leave ... It's going to be a major blow. As much of a blow as Cesc Fabregas leaving. To lose a vital player is going to affect you. Arsenal's midfielders don't score enough - the team relies on van Persie.
The result in Stamford Bridge [a 1-0 Chelsea win] is what did us in. We played a great game, we dominated and we created a lot of chances. We didn't sacrifice our style. It's painful to be eliminated this way, seeing that we had a lot of chances to score. It's a very hard blow. We have to hold our heads...
Normally he is a player who plays in combination, with others. He did that with Cesc Fabregas and Samir Nasri but now he plays very deep as a striker. He has the quality to score goals
We needed the perfect game but we weren't perfect because we lacked goals
Football is unjust sometimes ... But if there’s one way you want to lose, it’s like this, being true to our style. Chelsea’s playing style damaged us, we were far superior and we created chances.
It hurts to lose this way because we were better and we gave it our all
They've gone back to the type of Chelsea that was more successful
What happened with Villas-Boas was they played more from the back, trying to keep possession and take the initiative. They've gone back to the type of Chelsea that was more successful a few years ago with [Roberto] Di Matteo: playing on the counter, trying to hit the target man, sitting back and using t...
We dominated but with just one counterattack, Drogba scores
What happened with Villas-Boas was they played more from the back
The move has been much better than I expected
The previous night we'd lost the semi-final with Arsenal at Manchester United so I was still a bit upset
I was playing for Arsenal the night before and we lost in the semi-final to Manchester United, but I was watching the Barcelona match at home the next night with my family and friends and was about to chill out with the Playstation when Iniesta scored. As Barca fans, we were all very happy
With Villas-Boas they played more from the back, keeping possession and having the initiative
It is clear that Iniesta's goal is still very fresh for them, players and fans
You respect him only by watching him on the field, because he is such a classy player, one of the best in the world ... We do not think that he will play next to Drogba, but if he does we will have to be very careful about him.
For me, winning the Champions League is a goal of mine, I was very close to doing that a few years ago and I am still not over that
With Villas-Boas, they tried to control the ball, they wanted to take the initiative
As a player and a person he's very committed, sincere and honest. It's a shame, but we're with him 100 per cent.
Messi stands out from every other player in the world ... It is a pleasure to play with him and to have him on the same team because he gives you that extra dose of confidence that every champion needs.
