Vini Jr., MVP of the match: "It's a very important match for our confidence"
"We knew what we had to do: work and take advantage of opportunities," said the scorer of the two goals at the Etihad Stadium.
Vini Jr. was chosen as the MVP of the match between Manchester City and Real Madrid. Our forward, who scored both goals in the team's victory at the Etihad Stadium, said: "A very important match for our confidence because since the beginning of the season we have had many good games, but we haven't controlled as much as we did in this tie. It was a very tough game, against a great team and a great coach. They had possession for a long time, but we knew what we had to do: work and take advantage of opportunities. Of course, I missed many, but today I didn't need as much."
Turning point
"It's an important moment. All the players knew the good matches were coming, and when Madrid plays in this competition, everything changes; the fans change, and the players change. We are ready for what's coming next."
Penalty redemption
"The truth is I said it was for Fede because he had a great first game. I told him to take the first one, but he didn't want to, and I missed. Today he gave me all the confidence, as a captain should do. He gave me the confidence, I scored the goal, and I was able to help the team to come away with the win."
His celebration
"It was good because of that; there's always another opportunity. Here we are, we won, and we're going to the quarter-finals with our fans, our family, all the players, and the coaching staff, who have been everything to us."
Guardiola
"I just congratulated him."
The opponent in the quarter-finals
