Do you see yourself lifting the Champions League trophy?
Its a dream, obviously, but I dont think about that too much, just as I dont think about that any time we have the chance to win another title. I think about how the game will be, the desire to play it Hopefully, it goes well. Hopefully.
Against Madrid, you were a brick wall, the best player of the tie.
I had many doubts about how I would be physically. This year has been very demanding for me in terms of playing time. However, right now Im feeling at my best. Im happy with my recovery work, the teams level, how I felt on the pitch both in the first and second leg. The team performed superbly.
