Real Madrid overcame Leganés at the Santiago Bernabéu and, after the match, Asencio said: “It was a very important match, it started to show us the path to follow. After the international break, it was very important to get off to a good start to get back into the groove and face the final part of the season in the best way possible. We gave a great performance that solidifies our good spirit and we’re going for more”.

“It's complicated. In this league, all the opponents are very good and have excellent players. In the end, they make it really hard for you. Apart from our individual qualities, we must bring out the team’s qualities. By playing as a team, we can win every match”.

What does Mbappé mean to the squad?
“Mbappé is a great player and he has been proving it for a long time. This season he's performing at a very high level, he's helping us a lot, just like the rest of the squad. Luckily we have the best players in the world and on a day-to-day basis and in matches like today we can enjoy them”.

Practicing rehearsed plays
“Every day, we always work on any situation we might encounter in a match. We know anything can happen in the games and it’s very important that all the players are focused because in the end anyone can make these types of plays”.

What’s it like being Asencio right now?
“Raul Asencio is a kid who thinks back to when he was little and always dreamed of these moments, and in the end, I'm living it. I think of my family and everyone who has been on my journey and how proud we can be of what we are achieving. In the end, this whole group of people is a team”.
