Pep Guardiola: Barcelona 'dominated' the match against AC Milan
"We played well, we had possession of the ball and we dominated," Guardiola told reporters after their quarter-final first-leg encounter.
"At half-time, I told my players not to take too many risks, but despite that we had 17 shots on target while playing with nine players from our youth ranks.
"We played like ourselves in a match which was really demanding. Milan are satisfied with the result and that is the biggest compliment we can get from a club with seven European Cups.
"The fans must show up in the second leg. These players have given too many things to be left alone. I know that the fans will come."

Messi: We deserved to beat Milan
"It was a tough match that we should have won. We played our game but it was difficult because of the pitch, and because they [Milan] are very strong," Messi was quoted as saying on the club's official website.
The Argentine then admitted that the Blaugrana face a perilous scenario in the return leg at home as the tie remains delicately poised.
"It’s a dangerous situation. Either team could go through, we hope we can score in the return so it will be us. We deserved to win [the first leg]."
