Joselu Mato He claimed responsibility for the decisive goal in the semi-final of the Spanish Super Cup, which broke Real Madrid’s second-half extra-time tie against Atlético de Madrid, and ensured that despite Stefan Savic putting it in his own goal , the goal is his due to the shot aimed at the goal.
“It’s a great cross from Dani, I see that he’s going to put it on me and I touch it. The first contact is mine. I don’t know what will happen next, if a defender touches it and the ball came in but I’m the one directing it to the goal. The goal is mine,” he said.
Joselu He admitted that the atmosphere at the Riyadh stadium was different in a derby away from the Spanish capital, which he was sure was decided by Madrid’s physical strength in extra time.
“The derby is a bit cold because it’s not like playing in front of our fans in Madrid. Here we are surrounded by a lot of Real Madrid people who give extra but it’s not the same,” he told Movistar.
“It was a first half with many goals, give and take that could go either way. We trusted until the last moment and they noticed the fatigue in the extra time. We gave a plus there. In the extra time we saw the team more fresh. We dominated it one hundred percent. They are very intense games and we deserved this victory,” he added.
