Changing room
“The welcome I got couldn't have been better. It's as if I’ve not been away. They’ve all looked after me, showing me a lot of love. Emilio (Butragueño) wrote to me while I was away and I'm very grateful for things like that”.
Important goal
“I've come motivated to score a lot of important goals and I'll give whatever it take to score a goal in the semi-final of the Champions League again. I've already said that the goal I scored here with Juve gave me a strange feeling because it meant that a lot of friends couldn't play in the Champions League final”.
Message for the academy players
“At Real Madrid you're at the best club in the world, certainly one of the most difficult to make it to the first team. But in recent years the academy is working and I'd like to say to the boys that they should fight for their dreams, nothing is impossible”.
