"The match was equal, but we didn't convert our chances",
Alexandr Bukharov summarized. "That is why I consider this failure
as very painful, we could have left this team behind".
"In this tournament the second match is always decisive, but of course
our crushing home victory would have make the second game easier. We scored
in Wolfsburg and made one step towards victory, but we were not lucky.
Poor chance conversion became the main reason of our failure".
"It's uneasy to play against this team everywhere, and moreover pitch
in Wolfsburg was not very comfortable, but I think we demonstrated good
football there".
"To my mind Rubin Eurocup campaign was rather successful, and it
helped us gain valuable experience. I suppose that we will look as more
experienced team in the Champions League in autumn".
"Semak, Ryazantsev and Sharonov are leaders of the team and their
absence tells upon our performance. But we have other players, who are
given a chance and who shows themselves".
"Wolfsburg is rumoured to be interested in me, but I think it is
misinformation. I want to play in Rubin and nowhere else".
Sport Express correspondent also talked to the author of decisive goal
Christian Gentner from Wolfsburg. "I hope it is not my last important
goal", he said. "We are very happy now, because advancement
to Europa League quarterfinal was our big dream and we fulfilled it".
"We lost the game and it means that we lacked something", said
Sergey Ryzhikov. "For example, sympathy of referees. We are disappointed
by our failure to reach the next stage of competition, because we were
able to do it".
"Wolfsburg looked stronger last year, but this year we could have
beat them. Our selection problems cannot be excuse of our failure".
