00:00We're going to enjoy the win because we feel it's safe to do that but we know it's just

00:03half time and we're going to have to be even better in Madrid to go through.

00:08If you look at the game tonight there is no possibility but football has changed.

00:12We haven't scored a direct free kick since September 2021, Burnley away, Martin Odegaard.

00:32So it's been a long time so to score two goals in 12 minutes of that magnitude of that quality

00:37from the same player, a player that has never scored a free kick before in his career, I mean what are the odds.

00:42The last 30 minutes have been very bad, you have to be self-critical and think and do everything

00:59possible to try to recover.

01:02Of course we wanted to win today, of course we didn't know that we will win 3-0 at home but we

01:17wanted to win and we won so we are so happy to score three goals today in front of our fans and to not concede.

01:23We never expected, no one expected that Ryze score two goals on set pieces and he score two goals on set pieces tonight.

01:39So football everything can happen, we have to believe, we need to have trust because sometimes,

01:45a lot of times, a lot of time in Bernabéu happened.
