I am really happy with this achievement and I must thank my team-mates who have made it possible.

It has been a great year for me, ... I feel very honored to be here with these great champions by my side.

We have to look to the future, if it carries on like this then we will end up like the gladiators of ancient Rome -- if you lose you get torn to pieces.

The numbers are not as important to me as the team's results. We've been unfortunate for two games, we hope the situation changes.

I don't think about that game any more, but it remains one of the strangest matches in the history of football. It's difficult to explain what happened that evening.

We must now concentrate on the domestic league.

The 1-1 from the first leg is a good result, but we must think we are starting from zero. We must not think that Bayern can be an easy opponent.

Yes, I did get such an offer. As soon as an opportunity arises for the Prime Minister - he is a very busy man - the [baptism] ceremony will take place.

These rumors have been going around for three years, but I'm quite comfortable. Just let it go, I don't have to deny anything because it's completely clear, I'm comfortable here.
