Lyon 1-1 Manchester United
Alain Perrin: "As the score stands, we're eliminated, so this is not a good result. It's a pity because it was an interesting performance from the team. It's just sad we couldn't hold on to our lead and conceded that somewhat bizarre goal at the worst possible moment."
Alex Ferguson: "I think we showed our determination to try to get back. We lost a goal out of nothing. We were in complete control and it knocked us back a bit. They defended very well and made it difficult for us but I think we deserved it without question. There was an urgency to get back in the game and I think we are best in that situation."
Arsenal 0-0 Milan
Arsene Wenger: "We showed maturity and got a clean sheet - which is very positive for the second game. We were dominant in the second half but just could not take advantage. Overall, I am very happy with the response I got from my team - the quality we have shown was outstanding."
Carlo Ancelotti: "Our qualification is still in doubt. We are not sure of going through yet. Arsenal showed great quality tonight and we must improve our condition in the next two weeks because I am sure Arsenal can play just as well again in Milan."
Celtic 2-3 Barcelona
Gordon Strachan: "It is disappointing to score two goals at home and to lose 3-2. They have the best squad in the world and only time will tell if they have the best team in the world. They are probably favourites to win this tournament now and if you went to the bookies tomorrow they would be the favourites."
Barca assistant manager Johann Neeskens: "We were dominating the game and controlling the game. We showed we could score some more goals. We are very happy that we had this result against this team which is a very strong team."
