Rafa Benitez Champions Quotations

We still have the FA Cup and we still have the league and a Champions League qualification place to secure. We must put this behind us quickly. My players are very upset by losing the chance of retaining their European title, but the world must move on and we have other things to achieve.

I remember Sir Alex sent me a letter of congratulation when we won the Champions League, praising the tactical changes we made at half-time.

I hope it will be like a European game. It will be better for us. We have a clearer idea in the Champions League and maybe we will have more confidence.

But we are confident in the Champions League and now we have Chelsea next, who have beaten us three times this season already. But we were very close to them in all three matches and could have won. We have nothing to lose, only something to win.
