Rodrygo was one of the stars of Real Madrid's victory over Atlético Madrid in the Spanish Super Cup, scoring our team's second goal. After the match, he said: " A great victory. We were up against it and in these games, you have to dig in to reach a final. We did it brilliantly. When it was our turn to be on the ball, we were good too and we won, which is the important thing."
 
"It was a great move. I was playing a bit more open and then the coach asked me to play more inside. Valverde found me, I came out to face the goalkeeper and, being calm, I finished the move well."

In great form
"I'm feeling good, I'm confident. I have the confidence of my teammates and of the coach, too, which is the most important thing. I'm playing more, with more minutes and starting, and it's normal that confidence, goals and assists are coming back. I try to help the team in some way. If I don't score or assist in a game, I try to run and defend. I have to help in some way."
 
Valverde's goal
"We gave Valverde our confidence. The free-kick was a bit far away and we told him to take it. With the way he hits it, he should shoot at least 10 times a game. A great goal in the style of Roberto Carlos, it was very nice.”
 
Final against Barcelona
"It's going to be another difficult game, as always. But we're fine, we're focused. Now we'll rest and then we'll think about the final.”
