‧Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger:
"Cesc's foot has blown up, that's not a good sign. It can be a vein
that has exploded or it's coming from a bone."

"Eboue did his groin because he played like Garrincha on the right side
and didn't stop going forward. Both are rated 40-60 for Wednesday night.
Cesc的腳有點扭傷，Eboue鼠蹊部拉傷，兩個人週三出賽尤文的機率都是40/60
Eboue在右路就像巴西名將Garrincha那樣

"Scoring the third goal so early in the second half allowed us to control
the game, and it was a very positive performance."
下半場很快攻入第三球，讓我們可以掌握整場比賽

Aston Villa manager David O'Leary
"Arsenal were outstanding. Sometimes you just have to hold your hands up,
we are looking at a team that could become the champions of Europe.

"When they are like this they can take anyone apart. It was not a very
nice experience but our young players will learn from it.

"I'm disappointed, we should have scored a couple of goals early on, and
that would have made it a different match."
