The reactions of two coaches Arsene Wenger and Josep Guardiola after the victory of FC Barcelona 3-1 Arsenal FC in the eighth-final second leg UEFA Champions League.The Catalans will qualify for the quarterfinals (tot 4-3).
Josep Guardiola, Barcelona coach We played a fantastic match against 11 players and also when they were reduced to ten. We stopped to do more than three passes in a row and we created many chances.We replay the first leg and we decided that we could return. It is their philosophy of play, but we did prevented from doing so.
There was a tremendous atmosphere at the stadium tonight and our fans were great, they helped us a lot. You can highlight the goals scored by (Lionel) Messi or passes (Andres) Iniesta but we also congratulate players like (Javier) Mascherano, intercepting many balls enemy. We are very pleased with our performance and I think we deserve to be in the quarterfinals.
Arsene Wenger, Arsenal coach We lost against a good team. In the first period, we resisted the pressure and there was the possibility to qualify either. We fell in front of a magnificent team, the best in Europe.We eliminated from the Champions League, but when you play against Barcelona you know it will be difficult. I remain convinced that in the second period we had to take the 1-1 if we had stayed at 11 against 11.
At ten, it became difficult. There has been a difficult initial period where we were completely dominated. Barcelona has attempted a gamble by giving everything in the first period. But the red card after it has become difficult.
