The players, happy after the victory
Stands and team were one when it came to defeating Real Madrid in the second leg of the Spanish Super Cup. Our players were proud of the team’s behaviour.
Koke admitted to TVE’s microphones that the season starts in the best possible way, providing a title to the fans. "We have relied on the basis of the group, on new people who are very eager, with great ambition and look how we started, with a title, here at home with all our people".
For his part, Gabi, the captain, stressed that it is "a major title because we didn't have it and we keep growing", admitting that "on double-legged games we compete against anyone".
One of the newcomers, Miguel Ángel Moyá, claimed, "I had dreamed with this title. There are people who say it’s a minor title, but it’s still a title that you receive before your fans", pointing out that "there isn’t a better way to start the season".
Lastly, Griezmann was delighted with the atmosphere at the Stadium: "It’s been great, the truth is that I already knew how the fans were. They are a ten and hopefully we’ll continue with the streak", he commented.
