Pre Match Press Conference Highlights

On an upset
“"We lost in the last few minutes to Chelsea in the final a couple of years ago. We also lost on penalties to Arsenal in Cardiff a couple of years before that.

"Last year we got knocked out by Everton in the semi-final on penalties with a team of young players who didn't deserve it."
