- Asked for his message to the players, Amorim said they have to think about the second leg, and more about its first 20 minutes than the rest. With no away goals, anything can change.
- Asked if this was his best performance or result in charge, Amorim said no, but he thinks it is the best result because nobody expected it. The goal and the sending-off changed the game.
“It's really important and they have to step up in this moment.”
- Asked how a side losing almost half its league games can play like this, Amorim said it is hard to explain. In this competition they can win, while in the league they suffer game after game.
- Asked about a player who won the penalty and played a part in the third goal, Amorim said it was hard to say, but he thinks it was that player's best game with him as coach.
- Asked if the players can separate the competitions, Amorim said it is hard now. There is always a responsibility, but the focus is more on saving players and trying to be competitive.
- Asked about heavy rotation, Amorim said players at risk of injury will not play, no matter what. But Manchester United cannot go into a game without thinking they can win it.
