Gerard Piqué (FC Barcelona defender): “It was a horrible match, it's a shame. We can't have a match like that. It's very hard to live with. I hope something will happen. Everyone needs to think about it, the club needs a change. I'm not talking about a coach or a player. This is not the first time, nor the 2nd, nor the 3rd. If it takes fresh blood, I'll be the first to go if the club needs that. We all need to think, to see what is best for Barça. We are not at the level. Barça must fight for victory in all competitions. We have to change things. What happened today is unacceptable. ”

Thomas Müller (Bayern Munich striker, author of a double against Barcelona, at the microphone of Sky Germany ): “It's a very special evening, the way we played, it was very special. During the 7-1 in Brazil (in 2014 with Germany) we did not have so much control, we were certainly good, but tonight we were brutally domineering. We left no space for their midfielders. We wanted to dominate them from the first minute, and we had a great first period. The next game starts over at 0-0, and logically the teams get better round after round. We already had a lot of self-confidence before this match, but we also know that we cannot eliminate any opponent if we do not go to our limits. (...) We are not here just to win a quarter-final but to win the semi-final and the final. I know this kind of tournament very well, after such a victory, you have to be very careful. ”
Kingsley Coman (Bayern Munich striker, at RMC Sport's microphone ): “We had a great game, we are really satisfied, all happy. Today we are going to enjoy it, and tomorrow we will concentrate on the half. (Against Barça) we had our pressing, we wanted to continue pressing even though we know that they are a very good team with the ball. We wanted to stifle them, put a lot of pressure, rhythm, that's what we managed to do. (Is this the best Bayern since his arrival in 2015?) It's hard to say, but collectively, I think he's the best, we are really all together, united. There is really a very good state of mind. Since I've been here, it's been the year with the best team cohesion. Anyone can score, except "Manu" (Neuer, the goalkeeper), maybe ... But there are still big teams. Today it went very well, so far we have won all our matches but we know that we are not unbeatable. We have lost matches this season. It's up to us to stay focused. We're going to enjoy it because it's a great thing that we accomplished tonight. Then we will be concentrated for the half and the match will start 0-0. "
“It was a disaster. Decisions will be announced and explained in the coming days. Some were already recorded before, even before the resumption of the Champions League "
Josep Maria BartomeuJosep Maria Bartomeu (president of FC Barcelona, on the Spanish channel Movistar ): “It's a very difficult night, the defeat is very hard. For the supporters, the players ... We are sorry for everyone, I'm sorry. We have not lived up to the club that we are. Let’s forget about it. It was a disaster. Decisions will be announced and explained in the coming days. Some were already recorded before, even before the resumption of the Champions League. But not today (Friday). Today (Friday) is not a day to announce decisions. It's a day to apologize to the socios (supporters-shareholders of the club), because it's not a good day for FC Barcelona. It hurts us a lot. "
Hansi Flick (Bayern Munich coach): “Thomas was named man of the match and it is deserved. He was the one who gave the signal for our pressing and he had a fantastic game. But I have to pay the whole team a compliment, for the intensity, when you've already scored 5, 6 goals, continue to play hard, it's just great. But right now that's our mentality, and I was also happy to see the players who came into play, who got into the rhythm right away and continued what the others had done before them. We knew that if we put pressure on Barcelona they could make a mistake that we could use, and we score our first two goals on our first two occasions, so it was optimal. But Barcelona have a huge offensive quality, and we had to invest a lot, it was hard work for our defensive sector. But it's only one game, yes, we can say that it is a signal to the opponents, but now we have another game in front of us, which will start at 0-0. "
Leon Goreztka (Bayern Munich midfielder, at the microphone of Sky Germany ): “From the first seconds we had control over the duels. We wanted to dominate them in this area and it worked very well, then we realized that something was going to happen. At the end we scored goals like in a dream. Obviously we are euphoric, this is something very special, it will probably take us a few days to achieve. But from tomorrow we have to refocus. ”
Joshua Kimmich (defender of Bayern Munich, author of a goal against Barcelona, at the microphone of Sky Germany ): “Terrible, hard to believe. We were totally focused from the first minute. Barca had a couple of good situations at the start, but we played forward, boldly, and in the end it's an incredible result. But we are not yet at the end. ”
