"It's always motivating to play at Camp Nou. With the Champions League, we have an extra boost and we're very motivated,"
"It's a position the manager tried me in during preseason and I feel good. I feel comfortable in both positions and the manager will decide."
"During pre-season, he wanted to try me out and then I didn't play due to circumstances. I kept training in that position. The day I was going to play, he asked me if I was ready and I said yes."
"I had played a couple of years with a back five. As a centre-back, it's important to be able to play the ball out from the back. That's one of the aspects."
Gerard Martin finds Champions League nights at Camp Nou motivating and believes the atmosphere gives the squad an extra boost. Martin has transitioned into a centre-back role after the manager experimented with him in preseason, and he now feels comfortable in both full-back and centre-back positions. He trained in the central role before making his first appearance there and drew on prior experience playing in a back five. Martin emphasizes the importance of being able to play the ball out from the back as a centre-back and remains focused despite Real Madrid's recent league slump.
