🗣️ Liam Rosenior hits back at criticism for handing Alejandro Garnacho a note while 8–2 down: "It doesn't affect me. I am not surprised. I need to help this club win football games."

🗣️ John Terry on Arsenal: "It's ridiculous to say there should be an asterisk on Arsenal if they win the Premier League, Chelsea won their first Champions League thanks to a corner kick goal from Drogba, we can't eliminate set pieces from the game and Arsenal has learned to use them correctly and is the best team currently." "I scored many set-piece goals that helped us win a lot during my time as a player, let's not underestimate the wonderful things Arsenal are doing."

Senegal have taken their AFCON trophy to the military to defend.😅🇸🇳

🗣️ Mesut Özil: "I was very sad when I left Madrid. I remember at the airport, the moment the plane took off, tears fell from my eyes..." "That was the moment I realised it was over. I had a great time during my three years at Real Madrid and was very happy." "But things happened. Suddenly, at the start of that season, I wasn’t getting many minutes anymore, and a conflict arose between Mr. Florentino Pérez and my father, who was also my agent!" "We had to look for a new club. It was tough for me. I wish we could have handled the situation differently at the time."

🗣️ Vincent Kompany on Real Madrid: "Everything is big at both clubs. It's not important who's the better team right now." "The history of both clubs, the talent on the pitch, that's special." "We expect an absolute top game. I hope even the neutrals will enjoy it. And of course in the end we want to win and advance."

🗣️ Patrice Evra on Morocco being given the AFCON title: “This is a disgrace for African football. A scandal. We all saw with our own eyes that Senegal won. My Moroccan brothers, I like you, but at some point you can’t take it this far, guys. The Africa Cup of Nations has really lost all its credibility. When I got the notification, I thought it was an April Fool’s joke. Nothing surprises me in football anymore, and that’s why I watch it less—because decisions like this are a scandal.”

🗣️ Wayne Rooney on Vinicius Junior: "That's what the best players in the world do; they step up; and Vini did it again."

Nottingham Forest NEED to win tonight.🌳🔴

🗣️ Dominik Szoboszlai on Steven Gerrard comparisons: "It’s a nice comparison to have. When I was a child, I was watching him play, and I’m now wearing the number 8." "It’s an unbelievable feeling and I think it’s an inspiration to all of us. A club legend, nothing to say. I’m happy to play for this club."
