What they said after Champions League last 16 ties

Key quotes from the two UEFA Champions League last 16 first-leg ties on Tuesday:

"I think we absolutely deserved this win. Now we have another big game waiting for us in Madrid. We know how good they are but I feel we can do it again."

-- Inter Milan's match winner Marko Arnautovic in the 1-0 win over Atletico Madrid at the San Siro.

"This is the best competition in the world, we can't make that mistake. It happens, it's football, but it happened. We have to forget it, forget the individual errors – because those are what led to Inter's chances."

-- Atletico Madrid defender Samuel Lino.

"We should have brought much more calmness to the game. We let the heated atmosphere get to us too much. I saw a very beatable Eindhoven today. In our home game, the second leg, we simply need to play better with the ball. Then, I am very confident that we will progress."

-- Dortmund defender Mats Hummels looking forward to the second leg after his side's 1-1 draw at PSV Eindhoven.

"I think that we had the second half under control, at least I had that feeling. And in the first half we had the bigger chances. So, overall, we had the best possibility of winning."

-- PSV midfielder Joey Veerman after the draw.

"We know we still have the second leg to play. Then, there will be 80,000 people on a Champions League night. We are unbeatable there. We did a decent job today - even against Luuk de Jong. But with the ball, we need to show more in the second leg, and we will."

-- Dortmund's Nico Schlotterbeck, who will miss the second leg
