I think you have to do the things that give you strength to get through this.

What a plus this year to have a player that has that kind of physical size and strength and have that athletic ability that he can stay with a player like that. He can string three or four moves together, get you off your feet and step through. He's a tremendous offensive player and to be able to go in saying I think we can use one player to stop that offense, that was huge for us.

When he shoots on me, I just try and bury him with my strength.

David was very disappointed with his ride, ... He had been going well in training but just wasn't at full strength today.

I saw a lot of good things today, such as our defensive strength and the way Deco played, but we still are not 100 per cent, ... Little by little we are getting there, although it wasn't the most attractive game because we had to play against a solid defensive wall, but that's always going to be the way (in the Nou Camp).

When I'm stronger than you I take away your freedom because that is according to my principles.
