“Last year, we had that bitter taste in our mouths because we couldn’t compete for the trophy, but this year, thanks to the team’s perseverance and consistency, as well as the DNA of Real Madrid, we were able to fight to the maximum and find the moment to win it.
It was precisely that consistency and fighting spirit that made the difference, we had more desire than our opponents at certain moments, in the details, with many people doing the hard or less noticeable work like Facundo Campazzo, who was the MVP but shared it well with many other players.”
In the end, Mateo wanted to share the MVP recognition with some other players.
“If I may, I would also share the MVP with Alberto Abalde and Fabien Causeur, who didn’t play in today’s game, with Carlos Alocen and Eli Ndiaye, who also got us here. I’m also happy for Hugo Gonzalez and Ndiaye, who helped us train and reach this level. I would also like to thank the contribution of my staff and other club workers at Real Madrid.”
