Pere Romeu, Barcelona coach: "I think the moment when we conceded [making it 2-1] and then scored shows the competitive spirit this team has; it shows our DNA. This is something we need to keep up and we want to prove it again [in the second leg]."
Pau Quesada, Real Madrid coach: "They were deserved victors. If you lose focus after conceding a goal against opponents like this, they'll run you ragged. The gap to Barça is what it is. They've got that extra gear and we have to match it. On the day you don't, this is what happens to you."
Barcelona reaction: Esmee Brugts on win over Real Madrid
Irene Paredes, Barcelona defender: "We'll prepare just as thoroughly for the second leg because we want to perform just as well."
María Méndez, Real Madrid defender: "It's difficult for all of us; it's not at all what we expected. We have no choice but to move on because football doesn't let you stop. We need to work hard to put in a different performance. We need to work harder to avoid the mistakes that cost us so dearly."
