Sporting goalkeeper Iván Cuéllar was undeniably his team's hero of the hour, proving to be an impenetrable wall against Real Madrid. "I'm more than satisfied, everyone showed commitment, all my teammates put in the hard yards. I'm very happy with all the hard work and our solidarity", the keeper commented after the match.

For Cuéllar, a draw against Real Madrid tastes like victory. "Obviously there are vast differences, not just in terms of budgets. They're the best players in the world, one of the best teams in the world. Commitment, a willingness to put the work in and humility won out against the quality and the millions that Real Madrid represent".
