-Endrick's performance: "He played a good match, scoring is just a detail. he moved well, had opportunities. He lacked precision, but his match was very good. On the right, he was very dangerous. He must be patient, he'll score goals when we need them."

-Valverde doesn't rest: "He was doing very well, played 45 minutes, and we thought it was good for him. He came out very fresh from Valencia. We took minutes away from others because he's doing very well."

-Modric's performance: "For me, it's a great gift, especially the way he prepares for these types of matches, he's a very important example for the young players."
