Mourinho relieved at Madrid resolve

"Our fans were magnificent. There was a fantastic atmosphere here in the stadium. When they enjoy the game, we do too. Thanks again to Real Madrid and José Mourinho; the coach of one of the best teams in the world came to our dressing room to congratulate us. Maybe we couldn't knock Real Madrid out of the competition but we deserve the respect of the whole world. I hope they win the Champions League so then we can say we lost to the champions", Fatih Terim said.

"I am a coach who tries to use half-time in a positive way. In this short period we decided to make a change. We brought on [Nordin] Amrabat and made a tactical change. We reduced the gap between attack and defence. Our half-time team talk was about the desire not to lose the game and this brought about the victory. After the third goal, we started to dream of the semi-finals. If [Didier] Drogba's last effort had gone in, everything would have changed.

There's nothing that Turkish players can't achieve with proper coaching. You shouldn't concede goals easily and miss chances generously. We need to improve every minute. We need to hold our heads high and continue on our way", he concluded
