What they said after UEFA Champions League quarter-final first legs

Key quotes after Barcelona hammered Borussia Dortmund and Paris Saint-Germain beat Aston Villa 3-1 in the first legs of their UEFA Champions League quarter-final ties on Wednesday:

"I think we played very well but we have one more game to go. Four goals at home... We always want to play our football and we want to play it there and we will win. That's always our objective. We're very happy, we played very well in the second half and scored four goals."

-- Barcelona striker Robert Lewandowski said of his side's 4-0 defeat of Dortmund in Catalonia

"Me, Lamine (Yamal) or Rapha (Raphinha), we score for the club. We always want to play together. We have a lot of great potential in this team.

-- Lewandowski on the formidable attacking trio he forms with teenager Yamal and Brazilian winger Raphinha, who were both on the scoresheet for Barcelona

"99 Barca goals/40 on the season: I am very happy. 99 goals for the club, in my head I always have not just to win but to help the team with my qualities, goals. I think strikers always have to think about goals.

-- Lewandowski's brace on the night took him to 40 goals this season and to the brink of a century of strikes for the club he joined in 2022

"I was worried on the first goal if I was offside, it's good that it was valid. I touched the ball before the line and I apologised to (Pau) Cubarsi, and he told me no worries, he'd count it as an assist. I thought the ball was going wide, it was a fast decision."

-- Raphinha faced a nervous wait on VAR after turning his team-mate's goalbound effort over the line to open the scoring for Barcelona

"We didn't play well today. We played too softly! We weren't cohesive enough. And what's more, we made simple mistakes. At this level, they are punished harshly. That's why we went down here."

-- Borussia Dortmund captain Emre Can offered an honest appraisal of his team's performance

"Scoring in the last minute, it was great for us, for our confidence. We have to think about the second match."

-- Luis Enrique on the importance of Nuno Mendes' 92nd-minute goal to make it 3-1 to PSG

"We're going to try to play in the same way there (at Villa Park), it's our DNA and I think it's important to think about trying to win all the matches."

-- Luis Enrique expects PSG to continue entertaining in the second leg despite their two-goal advantage

"I think they've put the world on notice to how good they are."

-- Aston Villa goalscorer Morgan Rogers on in-form opponents PSG

"We've got enough quality in the (dressing) room to cause any team in the world problems... We've definitely got the quality to turn this around, so it's not done yet."

-- Rogers looking forward to the return leg
