Petr Cech, Chelsea goalkeeper:(On 2012 Champions League final).“It was an unbelievable moment for all of us, the same as last year – it was the same time that Chelsea was involved in the Europa League and we managed to win it. And we are glad that after the Super Cup of last year, when we didn’t play well and we rightly lost against Atletico Madrid, that we have another chance this year. Obviously, we have one of the favourites to win the Champions League this season, with the new coach (there’s) new motivation, but the same is for us. We want to forget about the last year’s Super Cup and we would like to have a different story this time.”
Jose Mourinho, Chelsea coach:(On record against Bayern coach and former Barcelona boss Pep Guardiola).(Points to Chelsea crest on training top) “It’s white but it’s Chelsea (i.e. no longer Real Madrid). If you want questions about Chelsea I’m here until four o’clock. If you want questions about Real Madrid or Barcelona I’m not here…”Question (inaudible)“But that’s not about me and Pep, it’s about me and Chelsea, and it’s about Bayern Munich… and it’s about a Super Cup where it’s playing the European champions against the Europa League champions – and Pep is not the European champion and I’m not the Europa League champion. We just coach now the European champions and the Europa League champions… so this is not about this, it’s about Chelsea and Bayern.”
