"The result is valid. We tried to keep the Real , but towards the end, he inflatedthe pace, and there's nothing we could do about it. Play against this team - a greatreward for us. All we have seen with my own eyes a class of Real. This matchcould be called the crown of all the fantastic season that failed us in the Champions League. My players can be proud of what they have done in this campaign, including - and the match with a much stronger opponent, such as realists. Realists is already in the semifinals , there is no doubt. I even think of Madrid will reach the finals and hopefully win it."
Season was surreal for us. Our main goal was getting into the group stage. Aheadin the Zenith, Porto and Shahtar and get in the playoffs - it was already out of the category of fiction. As well as winning over the Lyon. Perhaps the opportunity to play with Real was given to us as yet another gift. This is a great honor.
The return match will be difficult. We must make every effort to leave the tournament as much as possible with dignity. Our performance will be foreverinscribed in golden letters in history not only of the club, but the whole of the Cypriot football. Yes, we had to pay for participation in the Champions League a few injuries and the accumulated fatigue, but it was worth it. Ability to play at this stage with the rival of the cost. Just do not forget that we still have a lot of games in the league where we can still take first place,"- said the head coach Ivan Jovanovic APOEL after the defeat of the Real in the first leg of quarter finals of the Champions League.
