Who said what after Tuesday's Champions League group games including Manchester United being knocked out after a 1-0 loss at home to Bayern Munich:

"We didn't lose the campaign today. We had some good performances and also we made mistakes and individual errors from players. Today the performance was good, we didn't deserve to lose but we lost the game."

-- Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag reflecting on earlier defeats in the group

"The players gave everything. I relly have to credit the team, the way they worked together as a team against this good Bayen side. You need energy from the bench, especially in the frontline and the options were limited."

-- Ten Hag after naming a host of youngsters among his replacements due to injuries

"It was nice. I felt like we controlled the game, and had the best chances. We were calm and on the quick transitions we could hurt them and that's what happened."

-- Bayern Munich's England striker Harry Kane

"We had a good motivation after what happened at the weekend. I still feel like there's a few more gears to go through."

"We have the ability to go far in this competition. It will be a tough test. We have to keep improving. I feel we have another level we can achieve. That is the ambition, to go and win the Champions League."

-- Kane on Bayern's European title hopes

"I almost have no words for how big it is for us to take eight points against Bayern Munich, Manchester United and Galatasaray. I think it is an extraordinary achievement that a Danish team can advance. The group was so strong and full of so many world stars."

-- FC Copenhagen boss Jacob Neestrup after reaching the last 16 by beating Galatasaray 1-0

"I am happy especially because we didn't concede against a team that play good football. We deserve this, the goals were a bit lucky but we created plenty of chances and I think there is no debate  about the final result."
