Here are some of FC Barcelona coach Frank Rijkaard´s post match comments during the official press conference:

Looking at the whole game and seeing that despite playing ten against eleven that we were still capable of earning a draw, we can view it as a success. The draw is a morale boost for the team because we have all seen what happened and how much the effort the players gave and how much they had to work.

It is a pity that Real scored two quite easy goals and made life very difficult for us. When we did not have the ball we were not well organised, which allowed our opponents to reach our goal quite easily. That is an aspect that we have to analyse and to correct so that it does not happen again.

Messi saved us from defeat. When a player scores three goals it shows that he has had a very special game.

I want to congratulate the return of both, Messi and Samuel Eto'o. Ronaldinho worked very hard throughout the game.

I am convinced that we can play this way. It has worked very well in other game.

The team was slightly disorganised at crucial moments.
