The captain showed his joy after winning the first title of the season: "is the biggest club in the world and the most successful, and that's why they have won throughout their history and why we continue to do it generation after generation, leaving everything on the field to try and win many more titles"."And on a personal level it's a special day because it's always a challenge to know that you're two titles away from beating the player who has achieved the most atand hopefully I can pass him"."Any player in our squad, if he gets in to that situation, puts the interest of the group before himself because it was a move that unfortunately had to end with such an tackle".

"I always take the fourth penalty because of superstition, not because I calculated that it could be the winning penalty if it ended up going in. My ankle is quite hurt and I was a bit scared because as time went by it got colder and more painful, but in the end when you know there's so much at stake you forget about the pain".
