Reacties van spelers:
Carles Puyol:
"The sensations? Immense joy. I am very happy. When you lift up the cup, you aren't really aware of what you are doing. So many things run through your head. We have suffered to get here but we won in the end."
"We suffered today. It would have been better to get the goal rather than the sending off. With ten players they defended very well and we made careless risks and left space at the back."
"I had a bet with Belletti to see who would score the most goals this season and we've scored one each. Im happy because he deserved it."
"The dressing room has gone crazy. We are a nice group and we are keen to carry on."
"It is hard to single out any one person to remember right now. I remember all the people that have always been at my side and the fans that have always behaved brilliantly."

"Both their goalkeepers had good games, but luckily we have a lot of quality up front and were able to score."
"My saves from Henry? They're all part of football."
"Game by game, we have had two great seasons and we have proved that we have a very good young side."
