“We will play against Newcastle United still thinking about that game. I know how committed our players will be, I have no doubts. We were close, but Real Madrid have been doing this for many years. They have this belief, this history… Di Stéfano, Puskas, Raúl, Cristiano were there and did it, that’s why Rodrygo knows that he has to do it too. They fight thinking about it. We could have done better, but it’s not easy. The moment, the circumstances… Hopefully we can try again next season. I won’t tell them to forget it. I still have the game against Tottenham here, which Sterling did not score by an inch. He is still here. The coach has to remember the good times, and hopefully we can have them. Lifting trophies is very nice, but next season it has already been forgotten and you have to try again”.
