This defeat hurts because of the way it happened and because it broke our record of victories.

This is a re-debut. The first one was a bit short.

It was obvious from his first attack on me that he went in to kick me on the knee. It meant the second time he came in really hard, he was going over the ball with the intention of hurting me. That was why I jumped and that is the only reason he did not do real damage.

I want to avoid comparisons because for me there has never been anyone quite like him.

I rushed to get back before it was time.

We can't be overconfident. It happened to us when we were leading 2-1 in last year's game. Chelsea has players who can score two goals at any moment and we have to realize we have achieved nothing yet.

Something deep in my character allows me to take the hits and get on with trying to win.
