Atlético’s home-grown player said that "Our strength is winning, scoring more goals than them. At the end, it is important to win the qualifying round. We have to score goals. We prepare for each game in the best possible way. There are times when we don't have long to prepare the matches. We are used to playing these kind of fixtures after four years doing it and we are ready."

Regarding Real Madrid’s injured players for this match, the red and white number '6' said that "Real Madrid has a great staff and no matter who plays, we’ll be 11 against 11. We have to go out to win. We have to do our job to win the qualifying round. We think that each match is different. Thanks to our work we have won many of the seven games in which we have faced Real Madrid this season and we hope to win tomorrow’s too.”
