John Terry:
"For me persnally, it's an amazing achievement to get this award this evening. To be a great defender you need a lot of attributes; to read the game very well, be quick, strong, good in the air, and you also need good team-mates around you, which I have bundles of, so I'm happy."
Frank Lampard:
"It feels very good when you see the players that you're against, theres some world class players in there, I've been amongst them for three years it's good to finally win one."

"To win this award is great for me," said the Portuguese ace. "I feel very proud, very good, to win this, because the Champions League is one of the best. Every player likes to play this competition and to be the best."
