What They Said: UCL Matchday 4
espnstar.com's Eugene YS Han compiles the note-worthy quotes from round four of the Champions League group stages.
"The good thing was that Isaac came to me and said, "It's not right what you did, dad, you should have had more penalties but it's not right to do that to referees. I told him never to do what I did."
Didier Drogba recounts to The Times how his eight-year-old son disciplined him after his infamous Champions League tirade last season.
"All the TV showed the insult of Drogba, not the decisions. I was like Drogba in the past when I saw an injustice as a player. Drogba's a good guy. I know him very well. He understands now that he made a mistake. Everybody does. He will come back better, stronger."
UEFA president Michel Platini can relate to Drogba.
"We needed to count on a super Hugo again. Liverpool came here looking to play the game of their lives. We had to dig very deep, and we did."
Ederson tells uefa.com Lyon were indebted to Hugo Lloris.
"I believe that our board has enough patience, at least up until the winter break. If we lose every game between now and then, then certainly the board will have its considerations."
Franz 'the Kaiser' Beckenbauer tells Sat.1 television that Louis van Gaal's time is almost up.
"Barcelona are a club that always plays for victory. We are in a really tough situation ahead of the last two group stage matches. Of course, we wanted a different scenario. However, considering how the match went, I can't say I'm disappointed with the draw."
Carles Puyol can't decide what Barca want.
"You don't need extra motivation when you face Barcelona. Of course, we didn't expect to take four points in two matches against Barça. You saw it yourself; the right tactics allow you to beat any opponent. We are not afraid of Inter now, as we proved we can play decent football against any side."
Bullish Alexander Bukharov is bullish.
"The whole team defended great. Thanks to our fans and all my team-mates. We even had two chances to open the score through Bukharov. Barcelona had chances too, but thank God, they were wasteful."
For the second round in a row, Rubin Kazan give thanks to the heavens.
