The Center forward of Athletic Bilbao Fernando Yorente hardly kept his emotions after last night victory over Sporting Lisbon with 3:1. The success sent the Basque club in the UEFA Cup final and the author of the extremely important third goal, said that immediately after the game he wanted to sit on the pitch and to cry.

"This is amazing! For the first time in my life I want to cry on the pitch" said Yorente. "This feeling cann't be described with words. It rocks! We made history, I hope it will continue and in the final. Our fans deserve the cup. I know people who have wept at the defeat of Juventus 35 years ago and I think it's time these same people to enjoy now. "

Markell Susaeta, who scored the first goal in the match, reiterated that in the first leg the Portuguese played better, but at "San Mames" Athletic is presented differently. "Sporting were the better team in the first meeting. But all know that when you come at " San Mames" this is a completely different story. The bad moment in the match was less than a minute when they scored a goal. Most important however, was that we scored right away and turned developments again. Now we play with Atletico - a dream final for us. Maybe they will make and deeper analysis, but I think we reached an amazing night in Bucharest" said the midfielder.
