The youth created the goal scored by Diego Godin with a great cross for the Uruguayan Central defender. "I try to do my work, I try to make good passes to my teammates. I'm happy because its been a while since I gave an assist but I try to help the team as much as possible. Today I had the luck to put the ball in and it was finished off nicely by Diego".

One of the keys to the meeting for the Atletico midfielder was the rhythm that both teams played with. "We have been very intense, both teams. We are two side that give a lot of intensity to the game. We will go there to Bilbao, where they will have a lot of intensity." Regarding the second leg, Koke said they are "able to move the tie. Either a win or a draw will do. But Atletico go to every game to win all fields."

After the victory in the first leg of the quarterfinals of the Copa del Rey, Koke is already thinking about the next commitment the team has on the horizon. "Today we were able to get a win against a very tough team, but it doesn’t stop there because on Sunday we have another important game."
