Diego Costa said to the media that "crisis there was, we knew this could happen. People doubt after three defeats, but in the changing room we did not. We played two games in quick succession with a great team like Madrid, but after that, no doubt we go out to win and we did."

As for the goal scored by Raul Garcia at the beginning of the meeting, he stressed that "the boss always gets us working on the strategy in training. It went well and hopefully he can do it again. "On his scoring contribution and the pursuit of the Pichichi he said that "both Cristiano, as Messi are back I will fight for it. I will do my own thing to try to score goals to help the team."

Finally, in reference to the Champions League match, he said: "Milan are a great team, with a great tradition, and can play these games. To take something we have to play a complete game and we will go with that mentality."
