Pre Match Press Conference Highlights

on the tie itself
“Scoring away from home gives you a big advantage,”  “We must try to do that. When I came here with Aberdeen in ‘83 we drew 0-0 and everybody was delighted, apart from me.


I just sensed the danger. Although we managed to go through, Bayern scored twice on our ground. So scoring is going to be important.”

 

Louis Van Gaal on Robben

"Maybe it will turn out not to be that bad but it looks difficult for the United match,"

 

Ryan Giggs on the 1999 Final against Munich

"I can't believe it's 11 years ago," "It was one of the greatest nights of my life and for many fans too. This will bring back a lot of happy memories. "We will settle for the same score as in 1999 too but hopefully not leaving it as late as we did then."

 

"I am a little bit surprised about our overall record but it has always been tight," "It is usually difficult against German sides and against the top ones even more so.  "We have won the European Cup three times. They have won it on four occasions so you are talking about two clubs with massive history; full of experience and full of great players so hopefully it's going to be a great spectacle."
