Rafael Benitez Final Quotations

Suspending the players for two games and leaving them available for the final would be enough because it was not a serious incident.

We are in the final and my players have done a fantastic job. We have shown the people that we can beat them. They are a good team with some good players but our players were amazing.

We have qualified for the final which means we have done a good job. When you have your supporters behind you, you run a little bit more.

We know how important the final of this Cup is. The incident is not serious. Both managers had the same idea. Someone must be sensible.

I'm delighted with the players, the supporters and the final score. It's not easy to play with 10 men for a long time, but we have done all the things you need to do to win with 10 players.

The final pass wasn't there in decisive moments. In the second half they crowded the middle of the park and we didn't have much in the way of chances.
