Are they really sending it to the other side of our desire?

Very happy with the three points at San Mamés.

Financial matters in entertainment.

But his three points were made.

Some people around him.

To reward everyone.

More than during the day,

but it's not there anymore.

And I think

I think so, and anyway,

and it's mutual.

And Manu's thing,

When Martín was there

Martín, well — oh, oh

Congratulations, congratulations.

Thank you very much.

It's great to start with a victory in the Champions League and, on top of that, away from home, right?

Yes, of course. In the end it wasn't an easy game; I know it all too well, so, well, I already made sure to warn them in advance that it wasn't going to be easy.

Does it feel better to win at San Mamés or not?

Man, yeah, I'm not going to lie. In the end it's a special ground where, honestly, it's been very hard for me to win, so I'm happy to have done it.

You had talked a lot, and you'd warned your teammates, but of course Miquel Merino is there with you, Odegar is there too, who also has a Real past.

I imagine it was extra motivation before starting.

Yes, but I don't think that motivation does us any good. In the end it was just another match, and I think dwelling on it being a special one doesn't help us.

Of course. Listen — what you're saying, right? Arsenal is a team that plays the ball well, likes to attack and to keep possession, but if you have to set up a different game plan you've shown you can do that too, right? You even told Diego that, didn't you?

Yes, that's clear. I think one of our strengths is the defensive side. In the end we're conceding very few goals, and when we don't have the ball I think the team still maintains that concentration and that will to win, which means we don't concede many goals.

Totally. So, anyway, Arsenal are doing brilliantly in the league and have started the Champions League brilliantly too. How is Miquel Merino doing with the staples they've put in?

Well, I think his head already has very little sensitivity because he's had quite a few already, but honestly he's an animal and he knows it.

Well then, a hug for Merino, and I don't know — do you want to send a message to Real fans or not? They'll be listening to you too.

Nothing, just lots of encouragement — the start hasn't been easy, but they have more than enough team to do well.

Yes sir, they'll come back. Thanks, Martín, a hug.

Bye.
