Rodrygo: "We performed very well in both games and deserved to go through"
"It was possibly the best night of the season so far against a very strong opponent," explained the Brazilian.
After qualifying for the Champions League last 16, Rodrygo analysed the victory against Manchester City at the Santiago Bernabéu: "It was potentially the best night of the season so far against a very tough side, who we've battled it out with over recent years. We were the better side over both legs and deserve to go through."
"We read the game very well, knowing when to defend in a low block and when to press. We played an almost perfect game despite conceding a goal at the end."
Mbappé's masterclass
"He had his first great night against a great side and we're over the moon for him. He's getting better every day, he's clearly a star. He came to a European championship winning team, with great players, and with him we have an even greater team."
Upcoming rival in the Champions League
"Whether we play Atlético or in Germany, it's going to be very tough."
Connection with his teammates
"We're playing very well every day and now we understand each other better. Given the quality and the commitment we have, I'm sure we'll continue to play at this level."
