Brahim: "I'm happy with the goal, but we still have to give our all in the return leg"
"Obviously, nothing has been decided. This is the Champions League and the smallest margin can make the difference," said the scorer of the 2-1 final result.
Brahim spoke to the media after Real Madrid's win against Atlético. The forward, who scored the second goal of the match, said the following: “Playing here at the Santiago Bernabéu is an incredible and unique experience. When you wear this shirt, you have to give everything and I think we produced a complete performance today. The goal was good and it helped us to win, but there's still the second leg and we have to give everything all the same.”
“We were always balanced, although they equalised and we got a bit discouraged. We started the second half well. We can cause problems at any moment. This is Real Madrid, the best club in the world, and the magical nights at the Bernabéu.”
The return leg
“Obviously, it's still wide open. It's good to win at home in a tough game against a great team, but it's not over yet. This is the Champions League and every little thing makes a difference.”
Was he going to be taken off before the goal?
“I don't know. I was following the match. Now I'll ask the coach to see if that's right. I'm here to give my all and contribute. It's the only thing I have to do, to give the maximum for this club.”
