"We knew it was going to be a tough match with the cold, the pitch, they pressed hard, it was difficult for us. We managed to come back, they came back against us, then we came back again and won. It's very difficult to play here, your feet and hands hurt... but that's no excuse, we played a good match and got the victory,"
"I try to take advantage of the manager's opportunities, help the team, we did a great job and we deserved it. I hope there will be many more MVP awards, I'm very happy about this and about the victory. We knew goal difference was important, we wanted to keep a clean sheet, it was complicated, but we got the victory."
"I haven't spoken with Pedri, he felt some discomfort in his hamstring and we'll wait for the tests to see what it is. Hopefully it's nothing serious, and we won't lose him for long,"
Lopez scored twice in the first half and drove his team to a comeback victory under Hansi Flick. The match featured difficult conditions — cold weather, a poor pitch and intense pressing — which made play physically painful but did not prevent a strong team performance. The team conceded and regained leads multiple times before securing the win. Lopez emphasized taking advantage of managerial opportunities, helping the team and earning MVP recognition. Goal difference and keeping a clean sheet were important objectives. Pedri suffered hamstring discomfort and will undergo tests to determine injury severity; coaching staff hope the problem is not serious.
