"Because the two teams were going forward it was a very open game and Fenerbahce are an attacking side and are very dangerous going forward. Both teams were going forward 100% but the fact we scored an early goal forced Fenerbahce to come out and we caught them many times on the counter-attack.
"Our pace, movement and technique made the difference and allowed us to take advantage of it but it was not an easy game. I am very proud of the team. The average age was 23 and I am proud because we came in and tried to dictate the game in a very heated atmosphere.
"It is very pleasing that they seemed to play with no fear. I am pleased to see it works. We came here and had a go. We started strong, we remained quite strong and we finished strong."
On Diaby:
"He can do it. He can play nearly everywhere. From midfield going forward, he can play everywhere. He has been out for nearly three months now. It was his first start and he had a very good game."
... and Ramsey:
"He is 17-and-a-half years old, he is a very young boy but very promising. His personality really comes out wherever he goes. He really wants the ball, he is not frightened.
"We had a really young team out tonight, at 23 years old, and it is good to see."
