media interview
How does it feel to win the championship?
I am very happy because this team deserves this title. It has not been easy for Barcelona in the past few years. I think now it can be said that Barcelona is back. The team has worked hard for this for a long time and now we are seeing the results.
This is a big family and this championship is very important to us.
And it was a big win against Real Madrid:
Yes, we played very well, today everyone knew what to do, which is to keep the ball and prevent their counter-attacks, because Real Madrid’s frontcourt players are very fast.
We completed the game according to the coach’s request, and everyone is very satisfied.
The beginning of a new era?
Yes, I think this will be the beginning of a new era.
This is the first championship, but there will be more in the future, we are a big family, and everyone is going all out to move in the right direction.
How are your teammates feeling now?
Everyone is very happy, the past year has not been easy, because Barcelona did not win the championship, we were eliminated from some important competitions, and we suffered unfair penalties in some games.
So winning the championship today makes everyone very happy.
From being injured, not being able to participate in the World Cup, to returning to the game and winning the championship, what does it mean for you?
Very happy, I almost cried with joy, because I went through a very difficult period before, injuries, not being able to play in the World Cup, very difficult, this championship is a huge reward for me and for the people around me.
The past week was not easy, because the original plan was to come back slowly, but the team needs me, and now the schedule is getting tighter and tighter.
After the semi-final against Betis, I was also very tired, but everyone went all out to overcome the difficulties.
