Football is an art, like dancing is an art - but only when it's well done does it become an art.

The score is high and very brutal but does not reflect what we saw on the pitch. The first shot on goal was a goal. The second was an own goal. The third was straight after half-time. They defend like mad and they catch us on the break.

Who is the Best Player in the World? Leo Messi. Who is the Best Player Ever? Leo Messi!

I take pride in the fact that people go home having felt that for 90 minutes today, life is beautiful - and that's it, basically. That's why professional football exists.

I would be much more annoyed if we hadn't won the game. As a manager, you have to see the positives and I think Pires has a vaccine for the rest of his life.

I believe one of the best things about managing people is that we can influence lives in a positive way. That's basically what a manager is about. When I can do that, I am very happy.

Any man who concentrates his energies totally on one passion is, by definition, someone who hurts the people close to him.
