on Arsenal's overall play...
"Well it was a good performance. The first 10 minutes we looked a bit hesitant, but after we looked always dangerous and in control. We had a good variation in our attacks, even if sometimes in the second half we eased off. But overall it was a great team performance against a good Porto side. I'm pleased because we looked stronger and stronger, well balanced, and confident going forward. It was a very positive performance tonight."
on Henry scoring again with his head...
"He's now here for seven years, he can learn about them. They [players] show you things in their game that you don't think they have. I feel as well he has the timing to anticipate the cross. I feel as well in the last two games there was two great crosses by Eboue. You would like him to do that even more because he can be tremendous in the air when he wants."
on Gallas' injury...
"Gallas has a hamstring problem. It looked to me very serious. We hope it's not too bad, but for Saturday certainly he'll be short. [After that] I don抰 know, if he will be available for the French national team or not."
on last year's run to the final...
"It has given us belief, but frustration as well, because we were very very close to the line, and we want to come back. Because we have a young team we think we can be better and improve. I feel the played who joined us are getting stronger and stronger. Players like Gallas, and Rosicky tonight, they put in great performances and they can help us get even better."
