“It has been a spectacular year but in 2017 we need to keep working", said Casemiro.“Obviously I did everything i could in order to feature in today's game. Perhaps I wasn't at my best but physically there was little more that I could do, but i coped up until extra time and gave my best. It was worth it to come here and lift the trophy”.
Keep on in this dynamic
“We are doing a great job. Since Zidane arrived the team have been breaking records and this is how that is done. We must keep on working hard, but it is also time to enjoy what we have achieved, rest a little and recharge the batteries and return fresh to play well in 2017, as we look to win the three competitions we are still in”.
Casemiro: "Real Madrid always have to fight until the last"
“We are very happy. It is a final and we knew it would be difficult but at Real Madrid we always fight to the last. We have to respect the opposition, they were superb. we knew it would be a hard one, but we won. It is simply incredible for us, but we cannot stop yet because we have to fight for LaLiga, Champions League and Copa del Rey”.
Keylor Navas: “We showed in extra time that this team does not give up”.
"I want to keep fighting to win more titles at Real Madrid. This year has been spectacular but I want to continue improving and helping my teammates. In 2017 we have to continue on the same, with a lot of work, effort and unity".
Navas: "It has been a week with a lot of nice moments"
"We are very happy. We beat an opponent who made it a great game, they play football well and made things difficult. In the end we drew on our character and strength to win. It was a week with a lot of nice moments: it was my birthday, we played two games, an incredible final and we won another title".
Decisive Ronaldo
"We are happy for Cristiano, he is the best in the world and always helps us and performs in all of the matches. In extra time we have proved that we are a team that never gives up. We have to give everything out on the pitch and we do so with humility, respecting all our opponents, and we have to continue on the same path next year".
