And after…

“The crowd were fantastic and we played superbly in the first half but when they got the penalty just before half-time you knew you were at Real Madrid.

“It’s great for the lads though and we can’t wait for the return leg at Anfield.”
Ian Rush

“It was a brilliant occasion but I’m upset about the result because you want to win. I want to get a goal every time I’m out there because I’m greedy.”
Robbie Fowler

“I just want to go to sleep; I’m so tired. It’s a once in a lifetime opportunity to play in a game like this.

“I had to give everything so I’d get asked to come to the next one.

“We were never going to win the game. The refereeing was a bit questionable!”
Jason McAteer
