Rijkaard revels in Barça triumph

Frank Rijkaard, Barcelona coach
Every player who gets on that pitch gives a top performance. I am very happy, especially for the players. The group has worked very well for us. Bremen have a very strong squad and this resulted in a difficult match for us but we controlled the game, especially in the second half. The match was a pleasure to watch and I thought it was a good performance against a very difficult team. As for the next match we will always look to win against whatever team we play against. Every player is proud to wear the shirt and they try to please the crowd with their best performance.

Thomas Schaaf, Bremen coach
Congratulations to Barcelona, they are a top-class team. The speed of their game is excellent and they are now scoring the chances that were missing at the start of the season. They played how we expected but Ronaldinho makes the difference. Our objective was to get one point at least and now we have to win at home and hope Barcelona win away. I will phone Frank Rijkaard the night before the game to tell him what team to choose.
