Sami Hyypia : "The magnificent save from Jerzy, then the penalty shoot-out, he's the hero today."
"It unbelievable, back in the first they went 3-0 up and many thought the game was over, we decided to give it a go and we did it. It was great to comeback, as long as we got the first goal we had a chance" ------------
Jamie Carragher : "I think it will go down in history - people will be talking about it in 20-30 years' time. I honestly haven't seen a game like that I don't think."
"I said at half-time we had to go for it - we didn't want to be beaten four or five nil, then we got the first goal. The save Jerzy Dudek made from Shevchenko at the end was unbelievable. I can't believe we've just won." -------------
Rafael Benitez : "Fantastic. After losing 3-0, losing players and with injury problems at the end, it's fantastic. If the players believe, you can do it."
``It's good for us. When the captain scores all the team play the same. It's been a really good match. a good game." -----------------------------------------------------------------------
Ancelotti : “We had six minutes of madness in which we threw away the position we had reached until then.
“The match was well contested – we had six minutes of madness. It’s inexplicable because the team played well for all 120 minutes.
“That’s the way it went and we must go forward. We recognise it, we are displeased and disappointed.
“Its not the time to blame anything or anyone, we are sad and sorry for what happened, but this is football,â€
“Congratulations to Liverpool for hanging on and winning the cup,â€
“Now we must play our last match of the season and then we will start thinking about next season.†--------------
Silvio Berlusconi : 'Football is like politics: one thinks they have won and then you don't. Liverpool's three goals were very strange. They had three chances and took them while we had plenty at the end. Milan played really well. As for Carlo Ancelotti leaving, I don't think so. I don't sack anyone.' --------------
Hernan Crespo : ’It was too much. It was too beautiful to be true. It is hard, but this is football. Three-nil at half time, with me scoring two goals. I repeat... it was too beautiful to be good. I cannot understand how it happened, I cannot find a reason, however we will try again next season, we will take our revenge. Liverpool did very well, they also risked much, but when things must go the wrong way in football, they just do it. We had many chances, it went like this, the save on Sheva was incredible at the end, but we gave our best. I congratulate them.'

Can't argue with that. Dudeck made an absolute master save to keep Liverpool alive.

Can't argue with any of this either.

Not necessarily. We still don't know if Liverpool will be able to defend the trophy and it's going to be awfully hard for Gerrard and the rest of the team to spend the next season playing in the UEFA Cup knowing that.

"Lifting the trophy has to be the best feeling ever. How can I think of leaving Liverpool after a night like this? I'm really happy with the club. I will be having talks with the chairman and the manager shortly, but it is looking good." -- Steven Gerrard, quoted by the BBC website: http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/europe/4578603.stm

But what you quoted doesn't say anywhere that he is staying, does it?

It's as close as a player can say until he's actually signed the contract.
