Can you post a link when kasparov said it.
The only place that I remember that I read that claim was in a post of Amir Ban
and kasparov did not say it based on the post but only a member of kasparov's
team.
Here is a link for that post and the content of the relevant part

{After the game Kasparov blamed this move, and said f4 wins. He repeated this at
the press conference minutes later. However, half an hour later a member of his
team told Shay that they analyzed f4 and found it is a draw (25... f4 26.h3)}
