Urobols007, when Mexico plays in the US, you can't really call it a "neutral" stadium for Mexico, way too many Mexican fans. The same for Mexico in South America, how many fans are there in South America?? Not many. When you get schooled by Mexico in South Africa, I hope you don't use the excuse of: "we lost in a "neutral" stadium" in South Africa, so losing to Mexico doesn't really count.

Jose Cruz, Atlante coach
I’m very happy and very proud of my players. We were up against a brilliant side but I hope we caused them problems in both halves. Against many teams, we would have won tonight, but unfortunately we were against Barcelona. We’d have had a better chance if Messi had stayed on the bench. He changed the whole dimension of the game immediately. He’s just a brilliant player who had excellent players around him.

Pep Guardiola, Barcelona coach
I’m very pleased we won but it was very difficult. As I said beforehand, Atlante are a quality side. They pass the ball well and have a lot of speed, especially with Rojas. But I think we were the better team and the result reflected that. The support we received was absolutely fantastic. With the Estudiantes fans and our followers, the final will be a wonderful spectacle.
