03 March 03 Barcelona midfielder Casey accepted an interview with Barca TV after the match against Real Madrid
How does it feel to win the El Clasico?
Very excited, very happy to be a Barcelona player and beat Real Madrid at the Bernabeu, it was like a dream come true for me, very happy, but we still have another leg and we need to continue today’s performance.
I’m proud of our team and thank our fans.
As the biggest contributor to this game, how did you feel when you made the goal?
I am very happy, although the goal is not counted on my head, but I am very happy to be able to score a goal, no matter it is counted on me or an own goal, the most important thing is to help the team and teammates win.
Today we all work hard together and fight with all our strength. Goals are not the most important thing, the most important thing is victory.
In the second round, can Barcelona continue today’s defensive performance?
Every game is different, everyone knows the Barcelona style, which is to have the ball and keep it.
But when we can’t have the ball, we need to adapt to a new situation, which is to withstand the pressure of the opponent and defend well.
We did a great job today, everyone was great, we showed that Barcelona can win with defense and that makes us proud.
There is still a second round, and now Barcelona has only temporarily gained the advantage.
