Madrid, to the semifinals: “We are good at the moment, we are winning. We came here to win, we came out with a draw and we qualified, so we are very happy and satisfied for the team. We knew they were going to squeeze us in the first fifteen minutes of the two halves, and I think we managed well and then we knew how to set the pace and it paid off. Against Chelsea, it is going to be a good semi-final, a very good game, we are going to prepare for that. But before the League, so we will prepare for when it comes time for the Champions“.
Nacho: “If MIlitao and I are here, it's for something”
Vindicate: “I try to do my job as well as possible. I am in the best season of my career and moving on to the next phase like today.”
Match: “We knew we had a good advantage, but we knew that Liverpool were going to push. Up front we have not been as comfortable as in the first leg. These games are normal.”
Holder with Militao: “If we are here it is for something. We have three games in a row playing together and it is for something.”
Weekend: “It is an atypical season. Physically we are not like other years.”
Favourite: “When we were going to play against Liverpool they said that we were not favorites. We are going with great confidence to reach the final.”
Casemiro: “In the Champions semi-finals there are no favorites”
Goal accomplished: “We knew it would be difficult, especially for the rival. They have a lot of intensity, at home it is difficult to play. But the team's work has been fantastic. The key to the team is this: teamwork. You have to congratulate everyone “.
Team plan: “It was to face like another game. We knew we had the advantage, but we played to win. They have great players and a coach. The key today was work, it is what determined the game. We knew we were going to suffer, but still there is much left. We have to keep calm. Now we are thinking about the League because we want both titles. “
Performance by Militao and Nacho: “Many times you do not know when it is your turn and that you can play. The only thing they have shown in the games they play is that they have the level to play for Madrid. They are prepared. The casualties are very important, Ramos and Varane are two pillar players of the team, but both are showing that they can play in this team. Nacho and Militao played a great game, but today we must congratulate everyone because it has been a great job for the whole team. “
Favorites against Chelsea?: “In the Champions semi-finals there are no favorites. We are not thinking about Chelsea, but about the next game in the League. We are going to fight until the end to win everything we can win.”
