The Juvenil A of Real Madrid claimed their second UEFA Youth League title at the Stade de la Tuilière in Lausanne. Javi Navarro, the hero in the penalty shootout during both the final and the semifinal, expressed his excitement on Realmadrid TV: “What we have done today is beyond explanation. I still can’t believe it, it’s been incredible. These days here, the semifinal, this final... Just amazing. We fought hard, they equalized, but we still managed to win. I don’t know what’s happening with me. It seems I’m good at penalties. Maybe it’s a bit of intuition, based on how I feel.”

Carlos Díez: “I’m very happy for all my teammates, we earned this”
“After all the hard work we’ve put in this year, we are reaping the rewards. I’m very happy for all my teammates because we earned this. Time to celebrate and enjoy it.”

“These are emotions I’ve never felt before. These moments are incredible, and sharing them with my teammates, some of whom I’ve been with for almost 10 years, is very emotional. This competition hasn’t been won in a long time, and we’ve achieved it. Now it’s time to celebrate, but without forgetting what lies ahead.”

Jacobo: “We’ve become European champions”
“I’m overjoyed for the team, my teammates, the staff, and everyone who works at the club who helps us so much. We’ve become European champions.”

“The goal came from instinct. It just happened without thinking, a backheel. Pure joy. Inexplicable. In the end, that’s what this club is about, achieving incredible things in Europe. Today, we’ve done it.”

Diego Aguado: “I have no words to describe this moment”
“Right now, I’m in shock. I have no words to describe this moment. So much hard work and effort throughout the year has finally paid off. We truly deserved it. A generation that has been together for so long… It’s indescribable, I have no words.”

Yáñez: “This is one of the happiest days of my life”
“This is what we were aiming for from day one. We were told: this team is going to be European champions. And we’ve done it, step by step until today, which is one of the happiest days of my life.”
