Who said What
Jurgen Klopp: “When we lost here 5-0 at beginning of the season everyone saw the quality of city, it was clear. And everyone knows about Pep – he’s the best coach in the world.
“I knew before that they can concede goals and that they can lose, but its tough for all teams in the league.
“Tomorrow presents the chance to go to next round, but I don’t think even Barcelona think they are through – there is always a chance to strike back.
“City have the chance to strike back but so do we and we have the chance to win. Nothing is fixed.
