Who said what this sporting weekend: "Just imagine if there were 75,000 people in, it would have gone down in history as one of the great performances against Leeds." -- Man Utd manager Ole Gunner Solskjaer after the 6-2 win over Leeds at an empty Old Trafford. "It could have been 6-6 if you're an optimistic Leeds fan or it could have been 10-2. We couldn't do ourselves justice." -- Leeds striker Patrick Bamford "I don't think we have ever had a worse batting performance so we can only go upwards from here." -- India cricket captain Virat Kohli after his team were dismissed for a paltry 36 - their lowest ever Test total -- in their eight-wicket loss to Australia in Adelaide. "Massacre in Adelaide." -- Headline in The Times of India "It just clicked today." -- Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp after his side demolished Crystal Palace 7-0. "Something took place today that is out of my character and must never happen again. I apologise to everyone -- my opponents, teammates and family. Of course, I accept all the consequences of my actions." -- Borussia Moenchengladbach's Marcus Thuram who was red-carded for spitting in the face of Hoffenheim defender Stefan Posch. "Like you, I know what it's like to love wearing the same shirt every day. Stories like ours, of loving the same club for so long, will unfortunately become rarer in football. I admire you very much, Leo Messi." -- Brazilian legend Pele after Lionel Messi equalled his record of scoring 643 goals for the same club. Pele achieved his mark at Santos; Messi reached the number in Barcelona's draw with Valencia. "I don't run from nobody." -- Mexico's Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez, who defeated Callum Smith to take the British fighter's WBA world super-middleweight title, on the prospects of once again facing old rival Gennady Golovkin. afp
