Post match reaction:

 Nevio Scala:
" We had a difficult game tonight.  We did not have enough chances to win this game and i have to accept that it was so  difficult to score a goal with so many absent players.  For the last three  days we have been motivating ourselves.  My players tried to win; they did their best and i am satisfied with their performance.  All the teams in this group  have an equal chance of qualifying.  We must work hard for the remaining matches because Barcelona and Milan are very strong sides."

 David O'Leary:
" We were not in good condition and i had to substitute one of my players who was injured because of the bad pitch.  Tonight our quality of football was not good enough to win but we tried to do our best.  150 Leeds supporters came to Isatanbul: it was a hard journey for them.  I was fearful when i arrived in the city but i have to say that the Turkish people have behaved very well and i thank them."
