Gerard Houllier Best Quotations

You have the best 16 teams in Europe here and really they're the cream. If it hadn't been for a late winner from the Czech Republic last night no side would be on six points from two games.

There was a lot of pressure on me and on the team to win this match. I am proud to say that Lyon is once again one of the best eight teams in Europe, as it has been for three years.

I'm downcast and the players are downcast because even if we weren't at our best we had the means to go through.

I'm proud of what the players did tonight. Not only did they have a great match but they proved that they are one of the best sides in Europe.
