 David O'Leary:
" Tonight is a fantastic night, but i remember those people who jumped on us after Barcelona.  I have a good memory."
 
"We had seven players out that night, but we have learnt a lot since then.  We have qualified from the hardest group in the Champions League and we were depleted again tonight.  I wanted to rest some people but i just couldn't, we were totally depleted."
 
"They are young lads but they played like men out there.  We are a young team but in two years we have played 21 games in Europe.  I am proud for the club, the people back home, the fans and the chairman.
It was all just about making sure that Barcelona didn't take it away from us tonight and i am delighted we have done it. It's great.  It is a good night for English football.  We want to get up there with the other two (Arsenal and Manchester United) - that is what we are trying to do."

 Alberto Zaccheroni:

"Leeds are undeniably a good team.  Barcelona may have the technical skills but Leeds are superbly organised and have great spirit and determination.  They are a nice team to watch.  They play aggressive and positive football.  What impressed me most was that their two strikers (Smith and Viduka) worked so hard.  They covered 60 metres constantly and Smith is outstanding at holding up the ball while Viduka has both a greatphysique and mobility."
