Quotes
"Even stronger than last year because we knew before the match the difficulty of playing against Arsenal. For us, as a team and a city, it's incredible to win, and I think it's deserved over the whole season," Luis Enrique said after the Budapest final, as reported by Goal, adding: "It's crazy, it's crazy. We're going to enjoy it first, and after we're going to work and work again because we want more. We are really hungry. We are a young team, and we know we are really ambitious." Goal also reported him saying neither side deserved to win the final itself.
