"Today I enjoyed myself again, it had been months since I had done so. It's been a year of processes and finding myself here."
"[Diego Simeone] told us to enjoy ourselves, to go out and win, and that we had nothing to lose. He's taken the pressure off us because of our losing streak."
"We've reached this point by competing the way we have; nothing has stopped us so far. Everything has been a greater force, driving us to keep pursuing the goals the club needs and the fans want."
"This year we're closer to what the fans want, which is to play in finals. We played in the cup final and lost, and now we'll play in the Champions League semi-finals."
