"The team is doing well and we showed that we’re a great team. It was a fantastic game played with the right mentality and the result tonight was very important. I’m happy for Robinho. The important thing is that he continues playing and scoring. Now the coach has more options on the pitch. When you have a few negative results, you get the right kind of anger needed to do better. I hope all my team mates come back as soon as possible.

  "When we’re compact, we’re stronger than all other team," Zlatan Ibrahimovic.

Ibrahimovic adding that "We’ve had some strange injuries, but thee things happen and now hat they’re coming back, we’re definitely better than the others. I’ve made mistakes, no one is perfect, now I’ll serve my ban and I hope to be back as soon as possible because when I’m on the field I feel great. When you take to the pitch, you have to give something to the fans, they’ve helped us a lot, they motivate the team and when this combination between players and fans works, it’s perfect.
We lost some games but today we showed that we can play well against the big teams. We’ll take his result to London and see what happens. A great team mentality and a great game with a high tempo and intelligent play. This result is a signal for no one but us and it shows we’re doing well.”
