Frank RIBERY:
We deserved this win just as we deserved all our other wins. Portugal are an excellent team and they posed us a lot of problems. It was a very tough match since the Portuguese never stopped putting us under pressure, but luckily we were able to contain them. It still hasn't sunk in yet that we're in the Final.
The match:
14': Zidane slipped the ball to Frank Ribery, who fed Eric Abidal marauding down the left flank. He hit a low centre into the box, but Thierry Henry could not find the decisive touch and the ball went agonisingly across the face of the goal.
49':A minute later, Ribery forced Portugal's No.1 into a fine save from the edge of the box. The Marseille midfielder hit a drive from the edge of the box, which Ricardo palmed away to safety.
