Joselu was introduced in the second half of extra-time and was instrumental in Real Madrid's fourth goal against Atlético, which resulted in Savic's own goal. The striker said: “I did touch the ball in the fourth goal. I saw that Dani (Carvajal) was going to play it in to me and I touched the ball at first contact. Then I don't know what happened. I don't know if a defender touched it and then it went in. The ball was going towards goal and the goal is mine.”

“It was a tough and intense derby. We were accompanied by a lot of Madrid fans and that gave us extra inspiration. There were a lot of goals in the first half and it could've gone either way. We were confident until the last moment and we were convincing after we made it 3-3. In extra-time, they were tired and we were superior.”

Extra-time
“In extra-time we were fresher. We dominated 100% of all the play in extra-time. That's where everything turned and that's when the two goals came. We both wanted to win, but we deserved this victory.”

Final of the Super Cup
“A final is a final. Now we have some days to recover because Sunday's game is going to be very intense.”
