THEY SAID IT . . .

"What can I say? Loris knows it, everyone knows it. That's it. It's a shame it was in a game like this, after a season like this. I really feel for him, a fantastic boy. The second one is because of the first one. It's really difficult to get rid of bad thoughts you have in your mind. It was not the best script for us tonight." Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp on goalkeeper Loris Karius shocking blunders in the Champions League final. "In the next few days I will give an answer, now we have to enjoy the moment, the future of any player is not important, we have made history. Enjoy the moment, the team, the future of the players is not important, in the next few days I will speak. I have no doubts, it's not important, you have to rest, go to the national team and in the next few weeks the World Cup." Real Madrid star Cristiano Ronaldo hints that he may have played his last match for Real Madrid.

"How do you use World Cup infrastructure? Clearly, in 2010, we met and exceeded

every single requirement of FIFA in terms of the men's World Cup. But as you move away from your World Cup year in 2010, the sophistication and demands of your stadiums will just increase, and we already have an eight-year period. We should not wait too long to use them again.” Re-elected South African Football Association president Danny Jordaan says South Africa will consider another World Cup bid.

“We couldn’t play our normal game in the first half. In the second half we played the way we always play and

could find each other with the passes. That’s the way we play. We showed the experience that we have, we could control the midfield and play and that’s why we got the two goals because we went through with inter-passing. And we have quick strikers. We tried to win but they equalised. And I said if we don’t win, at least we must not lose.” Pitso Mosimane on Sundowns’2-2 draw in the African Champions League away in Guinea last week.
