“That week we put a lot of emphasis on dead balls and it was talked about widely. I saw there two, three teammates ahead of me and a lot of Atleti players. I got behind the scrum to try and anticipate and Diego Godin collided with his teammates. And then Luka Modric put in a perfect ball…
“In the locker room there were too many words, even more hugs, reward for the work, the sacrifice, the unity of the group. It was certainly one of the happiest nights of my life.

“It was difficult to think the two teams would play again. You have to give credit to both, two years later we’re in a Champions League Final thanks to the work.
“Take a player out of Atleti? I like to win against the best, the best XI they have. I worry about the team, otherwise it would be disrespectful to the Atletico players and to the philosophy of Diego Simeone. But if you ask for a name, for me Antoine Griezmann is a great player.”
“After a very difficult year, with a change of Coach, since Zinedine Zidane has arrived we feel identified with the game we play, we have pushed Barcelona to the last day, we’re facing this final as a new opportunity to give the fans a trophy…I wouldn’t focus on it as a failure,” he replied.
