Paulo Sousa: "I am satisfied with the way my team played, their attitude and the way they fought. However, I am not satisfied with the result of the match. Let's not forget that this tie is over two matches, and if we show the same enthusiasm as we did today, together with the fans backing in next weeks match, then we will still have a chance! We will not give up!"

Foda Franco: "The 2-0 score was a good result but we must not sit back, as we have not yet gone through to the next stage, despite winning today. We put in a great amount of energy to keep hold of Alves, who caused problems around our goal, especially in the first half. I asked my players at half time to step up the pace and play quicker. We relaxed after scoring the first goal, and the second goal in the 92nd minute could be decisive."
