That was very important.`

But Wembley has changed the mentality of the club. We have shown that not only can we qualify for the final, but to win it. Barcelona lost their fear in the other night.`
`We were very close, people with strong personalities on the team. We got on and off the pitch, we passed and we have been encouraging. It was important to have players like Bakero and Alesanco, but also foreigners. We had players with the spirit of winners. We went out on the pitch with the idea to win.`
`I learned a lot from Johann and his presence in the locker room. This group of quality players and coaches have made so that the club became better. A group of foreign players have brought us future successes of Barcelona.`, added Koeman.
