"We did well to score the first goal and to come back and get the game to 2-2. And at that point we were through. But what happened after that was really disappointing.
To concede a goal like this, whether it is a penalty or not a penalty, may be disappointing but it is not unlucky.
It is unreal to have had a chance like this, to score the equaliser and get to 2-2 and then to concede a goal only a few seconds after kick off.
I can't find the words for it. It is just ridiculous."

"We came back into it and then Liverpool got a penalty, which was really hard to accept.
The referee gave the foul against me, but I just moved away from him [Babel] and I think Cesc [Fabregas] caught his hand maybe, which was outside the area anyway - but that is the game and the referee has given the penalty. What can you do?
We just need to think about the Premiership now and see how far we can go."

"There's a lot of things I don't understand in football and I couldn't say if it was a penalty or not tonight.
We had the chance of a penalty in both the last two games against Liverpool and the referee didn't see it like that, but tonight he gave them a penalty.
That happens in football and we have to be big enough to take it."
"Of course we're all disappointed but it's happened now and we have to respond.
We were in a position to get through twice and that's the worst thing. We had chances to win and we didn't take them.
Perhaps we weren't sure how to take our opportunities but that's football and we have to accept it."
"Of course we can still win the league.
Sunday is our season now, it determines whether we still have something to play for or whether we can go on holiday.
If we win in Manchester we can still hope to win the league so we have to get our focus back, stay strong and make sure we do that.
Right now we're all disappointed but we will be back in the Champions League next season and the boss knows the answers. He knows what to do and what's needed to win it."
