Evaluation of the team in LaLiga
“It’s a very high grade, because we started well and we finished better. The team has always been committed to collective work. Then we have had good individuals like Courtois, Vini and Benzema. But I prefer the atmosphere in the locker room, it has been spectacular, and this has made the difference this season. I thank you for this.”
Is Alaba ready?
“Alaba is going to be there to play in the final, but it wasn’t necessary to take risks. He is going to play one hundred percent. He hasn’t played since April 26, it’s true, but in this game only physicality is not taken into account. Also skill and experience.”

Isco’s goodbye
“We talked regarding it before the game. He made his debut for Madrid once morest Betis and scored a headed goal. And he says goodbye with Madrid once morest Betis. He has had a fantastic career and has been key to Real Madrid’s great achievements. I think he might have done more, yes, but he has been an important piece for this team. He has played many important matches, finals, he has always competed with a lot of quality… I wish him all the best”.
