Guti and Xabi Alonso were satisfied and excited about tonight's victory against Sevilla.

Guti
"We showcased strength and conviction to the very last minute. We knew we couldn't miss our chance following Barcelona's result. We are playing very well and increasingly better. The team kept fighting even when we were losing 2-0. The crowd acted as our twelfth player and helped us win. There was a great connection between us and them."

"I am very happy with the final score, but even more about our belief that we could win the match. It was rather tight, but we played very well in the second half. We had many chances on goal and deserved to win."

"Our Champions League match on Wednesday will be the ultimate game, but if the fans support us as they did today no team will be able to win here. They always stand by our side in important games and I ask them to be strong to help us reach the next round."

Xabi Alonso
"These are three glorious points. We never gave up."

"We scored in key moments. The victory helps us stay focused on the league, but it will also help us in our match on Wednesday."

"The match on Wednesday will be like a final for us. We need  the fans' support. It will be essential. Fighting to the very end tonight had its benefits."
