Fede  played the full match at San Mamés. The captain analysed the team's victory on Realmadrid TV: “The best thing was the work we put in over the 90 minutes. For several games now, we've struggled to remain focused and we've conceded goals very early on. Today we said something very clearly in the dressing room, which was to try to change that and go out and press and score first, to give ourselves some breathing space.”
 
“Today we played brilliantly. The whole team worked very well in defence. We were also very good in attack. We have key players who turn almost every ball they touch into a goal. We are delighted with the victory and I'm delighted to be part of this team."
 
Captain at San Mamés
“It's an honour to defend this badge every day and I'm proud to have the teammates I have, who always support me. It's a pleasure for me to continue playing here, to keep winning and to keep improving as a team.”
 
The second goal
“Spectacular. It felt really good. Courtois' saves to keep a clean sheet also deserve a mention. That gave us a lot of confidence to attack. I think the second goal was a lovely move. Most of the players were involved, and in the end, Camavinga scored, who doesn't usually score many goals in a year, so we're very happy for him.”

How is he feeling?
“I try to enjoy every day and give my best every time I take to the pitch. The last few games have been tough for me mentally, not being able to perform as well as I had been doing for so long. But that's my responsibility. I try to give 100% in training and on the pitch when I play. I'm always grateful for the support of my teammates. They're always there to help me and give me a smile. And I'd also like to thank the coaching staff, who believe in me.”
 
Mbappé’s numbers
“It's crucial that a player of his calibre can, every time he touches the ball, finish the move with a goal almost every time. It is motivating for us, it's reassuring to have him up front, linking up and working with the team. We know everything he can contribute in attack, all the goals, but it's always good to see them defending him and Vini Jr. as they have defended.”
 
Returning to the Bernabéu
“We're really looking forward to it after so many away games. It's a pleasure and an honour to continue representing this badge. Returning to the Bernabéu is something to be really happy about. Hopefully, we can get another win in front of our fans.”
