Lucas Vázquez spoke to the media after Real Madrid qualified for the Champions League semi-finals. The Galician, who converted his shot in the penalty shootout, said: “We are very happy, we came to get this place in the semifinals and we achieved it. It has been a hard night in which we have had to suffer. “We played a type of game that we are not used to, but the team has shown character.”
“We had this plan in mind, to go to the semifinals and in the important moments this team always shows its face. “We have shown character, humility and great work by everyone.”
Sign de penalties
“The same thing happened as in Milan, I was focused on scoring the penalty and helping the team. All of us who have launched have done very well. In addition to having played a great game, Rüdiger had the composure to score the fifth penalty.”
Manchester City
“City at home has a very particular game. They are a great team and have a great game, but in our heads we knew that we were going to have our options on the counterattack. We got ahead in a great collective play and then we knew how to suffer.”
“They are the current champion, one of the big favorites and we have eliminated them. We are two games away from a final and we are going to go to the death.”
