After the match Marcos Llorente spoke to TVE to calm the possible euphoria after defeating Real Madrid 4-2 in the round of 16 of the Copa del Rey.
Win the derby
“It’s an important game for us. Losing Real Madrid is always very complicated. When it’s achieved it’s a reason for joy, but it’s a simple match that keeps us in the Copa del Rey… but don’t worry because there’s still a lot of season left.”
Rematch
“There is always a certain desire for revenge. In the end, we are two rivals who always play very good games, which the fans enjoy a lot, there is a lot of rivalry. These are special games with extra motivation. Because of what happened the other day, maybe we were more motivated.”
Super Cup difference
“The team kept the level throughout the game. That allowed us to stop them, which is not as easy as having our chances and scoring against them.
Atlético’s better physical tone
“They are definitely superior. That day we were a bit bad. Don’t ask me why. Whether it’s the change of location, the heat, whatever, we don’t know. Now we are physically very good and that shows in football.
The only one to beat Real Madrid
“We will do something right when we face them. I think it’s something to appreciate to keep the good things we’re doing.”
