Simone Inzaghi, Inter head coach"We are incredibly happy. It was an important night, we played two great matches against a good, strong opponent. They had only lost twice in the eight months before they met us. The semifinals was a dream come true for us, but now we're here and we're going to play hard."
Roger Schmidt, head coach of Benfica: "We have been excellent in this tournament, losing only once in 14 matches. Unfortunately, it was a very important game. We could not play with the same concentration and intensity at home. I liked what I saw today: the team believed in itself and did not give up, even losing 1:3.
