- Himself - Galatasaray Manager: Many people suffered terribly in the earthquake in Turkey last year and if this victory brings some happiness back into their lives then I am delighted and so are all the players. We are very proud if we are able to help the Turkish people in some small way and this victory is for the whole country and all of the soccer fans in Turkey. I believe they were all united behind us.
- Himself - Galatasaray Manager: I am proud and delighted he is in my team. Taffarel was magnificent and thoroughly deserved to be man of the match.
- Himself - Arsenal Manager: It was not a huge advantage for us to have Hagi sent off, sometimes you defend better with 10 men because everybody is focused.
