Xavi Sabaté: Congratulations to my players, to my team, to our club and to our opponent. Both teams played a tough game yesterday and this game was not different. It was an amazing feeling to win this game against Barcelona which team Veszprém could hardly beat throughout their history. I am very happy that I can say goodbye to this club with a victory. It is a special feeling to play my last game on the bench of Veszprém against the club where I used to play and whose head coach was my coach too back then. I would like to thank everyone who supported me. I would like to thank the captain of our team and my friend who always helped me. I would like to thank the club for the help, especially Gábor Kálomista. Huge thanks to the supporters of the team too.

 

László Nagy: Yesterday we were not able to win against PSG and unfortunately we are not playing in the final today. We were able to stand up from our disappointment, we reacted well to this situation and played well today. Our defense tightened up and we could always be one step ahead of Barca. It is a great feeling to say goodbye to Cologne with a victory. We carry on working and ookinf for the start of the next season.

 

 

Xavi Pascual: Congratulations to Veszprém for the victory. Xavi's words were honoring me and I also feel the same. We arrived in a good form for this weekend, we played well too but unfortunately we could not win any of our games. I am proud of my team. We tried many solutions in offense and defense as well but Veszprém was the better team today and they deserved to win.

 

Viran Morros: Congratulations to Veszprém and to Xavi Sabaté for his work in Veszprém. We are obviously sad now because we tried everything to win. We tried to play more tactical variations but none of them worked. This Final4 did not end as we imagined. We will try again next year to get here again.
