Dream come true
“It's a dream debut. I've been here since I was 4 or 5 years old, dreaming of this day. It went well, I'm happy we got through and with the team's hard work. Now we need to keep working.”
Psychological struggle with the penalty taker
“In the first penalty I didn't do anything. And well, we came here to play and it was all or nothing. Right, left, right, left... In the end, my intuition was good.”
Strength to strength
“It was a game that was difficult for us to get into. The pitch, the grass…You tried to hit the ball and it went away from you, but little by little we got there and improved as play went on.”
An opportunity seized
“The Cup is an opportunity for me to continue working and accumulate minutes. I did my job, which is to save the two penalties and keep a clean sheet. About being a hero... The team is a hero.”
Good relationship with Alfonso
“Before the shootout we talked about what the penalty takers would be like, the gestures... He acted like a football dad. I'm happy, he congratulated me and told me to keep working hard.”
An unforgettable day
“I thought about many things. I thought about my family; my father, as he wasn’t able to come and must have suffered… It has been a dream. The stadium, the atmosphere, I don't know how many people there were, but it was great to be able to debut like this.”
