Tchouameni was named MVP of the Real Madrid-Benfica match. The French midfielder, who was also selected as the best player in the first leg, delivered a great performance at the Bernabéu and paved the way for the team's victory by scoring the first madridista goal: “The truth is, we didn’t start the match very well, but we had the confidence that we would score goals. Then we did things a little better.”

“Those who came on later and the young players from Castilla contributed very well to the match. Now we will keep moving forward. We need to adjust a bit how we defend and start matches better. In the end, we won, which is the most important thing.”

Great goal
“During the warm-up, I scored many goals, and we said today is my day. I am very happy to help the team. The coach, Arbeloa, always tells me to push a little more to score goals. I have to keep it up.”

Preferences in the Round of 16
“We have to focus on ourselves. Then we’ll see what happens in the future.”
