MATCHDAY QUOTES
“I was very disappointed with Barcelona, they have quality players and don’t need to play like they did.
“It was only my players’ restraint which prevented it getting even worse.
“I don’t feel we intimidated them at all and there is no reason why we should fear sanctions from UEFA.
“People are continually knocking British football but I’m sure no one wants to see us play the way Barcelona did tonight.
“When we looked at it before the game it seemed worth competing in because it is another European tournament, another medal.
“Now my feelings are bitter sweet.
“We will be without Allan Evans in Europe next time and we could have lost a few more players [through injury] for Saturday’s FA Cup tie against Wolves.
“I only saw bits and pieces of the Spurs game last year [Cup Winners Cup semi final with Barcelona for which they were heavily fined] but I can’t believe it could have been worse than this.
“People keep going on about what’s wrong with British football and saying that we are inferior to the continentals.
“But if that’s the way they want to see us play every Saturday, then I don’t want any part of it.
“I thought there might be some trouble because Barcelona have a reputation for violence away from home and they were coming here to defend a one goal lead.
“But I never expected anything like this.
“I don’t know why they do it.”
Tony Barton.
