Barcelona coach marvels at crazy, end-to-end Clásico
How would you explain this game? “It can be explained simply by the stage of the season we are in. We really needed to fight to win. Both teams had a lot of chances and the game was played at a very high rhythm. I think that pretty much sums it up. It's brought a great Sant Jordi to and end for all Culés and Catalans”.
Real Madrid: “Nobody doubts Madrid's potential, they are one of the best teams in the world who continue to win trophies. They are a very potent side and I think we were able to beat them today because we wanted to reward our fans for the way they started cheering us on when there was only five minutes to go against Juventus.

Chances for both teams: “I don't have much voice for all the shouting I've done... I need to watch the game again, in peace, but overall, there were two great sides - either of whom could have won the game which was played at Champions League pace”
Madrid's last-gasp winners: “Madrid are the best team in the world at crossing and finishing balls played into the box. And they create danger out of nothing. That's why they are one of the world's top level sides. A goal came for us on 92 minutes, late - in Madrid's style, but we like those kinds of goals too”.
Messi: “Leo Messi is decisive even when he is eating his dinner. He's the best player in history, of all times. I've watched a lot of football and he is a player who makes the difference. He scored his 500th goal and it's a pleasure to be able to say that he's a Culé. Barça is an incredible club with a long history but they owe an important part of that history to Messi”.
