'Were Liverpool worthy champions? What do you mean? I see Xabi Alonso dance, Steven Gerrard weep and 45,000 people sing You'll Never Walk Alone. The question is not whether they were worthy. The question is whether we were worthy to watch this final.'
-Afton Bladet (Sweden)
'Liverpool showed that miracles exist. They proved that football is the most beautiful sport of them all. After this game my English team is going to be Liverpool. I came across some of their fans beforehand and they told me they were going to win, but that they would be made to suffer. It's just the way it happened. Liverpool are the best team in the world for what they have done in this Champions League. They deserved the cup.'
Diego Maradona
"We knew if we scored it would be different. We scored.. and it was different."
-Rafael Benitez
"We were sitting in the dressing room and we could clearly hear thousands of fans singing You'll Never Walk Alone. Can you imagine how that felt? We were 3-0 down in the Champions League final and all we could hear were 45,000 people letting us know they still believed in us. We knew they had endured a long journey and made so many sacrifices to be there. It was at that point we started to believe too."
- Luis Garcia
'Don't let your heads drop. All the players who will get on the pitch after half-time have to keep their heads held high. We are Liverpool, you are playing for Liverpool. Do not forget that. You have to hold your heads high for the supporters. You have to do it for them. You cannot call yourselves Liverpool players if you have your heads down. If we create a few chances we have the possibility of getting back into this. Believe you can do it and we will. Give yourselves the chance to be heroes'.
-Rafa Benitez
"My secretary, Sheila, was right in line with the shot and she says it was a goal. That's good enough for me."
-Rafa Benitez after that goal.
"We are preparing a special weightlifting plan for Gerrard's shoulders because we want him to lift a lot of trophies for Liverpool in the next few years."
-Rafa Benitez
Seeing these smiling faces is the greatest pleasure.
They have been magnificent all season.
They have been our 12th man.
I have always said our fans are the best in England.
Now I know they are the best in Europe too.
