Another great European night…
Sure, it’s an incredible night, another great game at the Bernabéu, a great night, a defeat that tastes very sweet. We suffered, but we didn’t give up until the end, we believed, despite losing 0-3, that we weren’t having a bad game. Chelsea put in almost everything they had. But we believed, we fought and we hoped to turn it around. And that we did. The coach made good changes, which helped, they changed the game. Very happy to be in the semis.
Did they expect to suffer so much?
We are used to suffering, it happened to us in several rounds in the Champions League, with Juve, with Bayern, with Ajax, with Schalke… Night of suffering, but the important thing is to get through and it is difficult to describe these emotions. It’s been 120 minutes in which we gave everything. With two or three injuries. We showed a lot of character, it’s the team’s merit.
The Bernabéu said goodbye to him chanting his name, all together.
It is a tremendous pride to hear the public shouting my name. Thank you for the affection, from the first day it arrived, I always try to give it back on the field, playing well and winning.
Until when Modric in Madrid?
We are going to go year by year and see how long I feel good and can continue at this level.
For semis, ¿Atleti or City?
Difficult, if you want to win the Champions League you have to beat everyone. It’s the same. Both are strong, but the important thing is that we are in the semis. Tomorrow we will enjoy watching the game and see who gets to play.
