Mbappé: "Hello Madridistas, what a fantastic night at the Bernabéu! We are through to the Round of 16 in the Champions League. We will keep going like this. Hala Madrid!"
🚨🗣️ Kylian Mbappé: "Our opponent in the Round of 16? Both are great teams. Playing against Atlético or Leverkusen will be tough. Facing Atlético would be better because we wouldn’t have to travel."
🚨🗣️ Kylian Mbappé: "It was a perfect night for the team. It made sense for Real Madrid to be in the Round of 16, but Manchester City is a very strong team. I’m happy to bring joy to the Real Madrid fans."
🚨🗣️ Kylian Mbappé: "Was this my best night? I don’t know. I’m not the one to analyze these things. I speak on the pitch. We have to keep playing like this if we want to win what we desire."
🚨🗣️ Kylian Mbappé: "I’ve already said this—I didn’t come here to play badly. I want to make history at Real Madrid. The adaptation period is over."
Kylian Mbappé: "Goals? I have no limits. If I can score 50 goals, I will. If I score many goals and we win many titles, I would sign for that with my own blood."
🚨🗣️ Kylian Mbappé: "I have dreamed of this since I was a child."
🚨🗣️ Kylian Mbappé: "Being a Real Madrid player is more important than winning the Ballon d’Or."
🚨🗣️ Jude Bellingham: "Mbappé? We go into games knowing he will make an impact. Our job, playing behind him, is to position ourselves as best as possible. When he gets the ball in those areas, he is dangerous. We saw that today with the different types of goals he scored. What he has done in his career is incredible. I know he started a bit slow, but now he is flying. It’s a pleasure to watch him play."
🚨🗣️ Jude Bellingham: "We must remember that talent alone won’t be enough when facing teams away from home. It’s not just about showing up and getting the points. It requires organization and commitment, and we have demonstrated that in these two matches."
Atlético in the Round of 16?
🚨🗣️ Jude Bellingham: "A derby match would be something special—two truly special games. If we play like we did tonight, we will have a chance against most teams."
🚨🗣️ Jude Bellingham: "This was one of the best performances we’ve had. We were comfortable from the start, especially after the first goal."
🚨🗣️ Jude Bellingham: "We had a lot of confidence from the beginning. We didn’t care about the opponent, and we never relaxed."
Were you surprised by Manchester City’s performance?
🚨🗣️ Jude Bellingham: "Not really. I understand that every season has its moments. There are times when they don’t play well, and they’ve had injuries. We respect them a lot. Maybe they aren’t at their best, but we knew we had to be careful."
🚨🗣️ Raúl Asensio: "Haaland’s absence doesn’t change anything. We play against eleven players, and we have to do our best. As defenders, we must focus on keeping a clean sheet. Haaland is a great player, but we already defended well against him in the first leg."
🚨🗣️ Raúl Asensio: "We were mentally prepared for whatever could happen. We were very strong."
🚨🗣️ Rodrygo: "This might be our best match of the season because we were a very tough opponent. For the first time, we were the better team throughout the entire game. We deserved to qualify."
On his assist to Mbappé?
🚨🗣️ Raúl Asensio: "I’m very happy to contribute with an assist. I saw him running, and luckily, the pass was perfect, and he was able to make the most of it."
Do you see yourself as a starter?
🚨🗣️ Raúl Asensio: "No, I work every day, and the coach decides. I just try to make the most of every opportunity."
Preferred opponent?
🚨🗣️ Raúl Asensio: "Whoever it is, we are Real Madrid. It doesn’t matter to us."
🚨🗣️ Rodrygo: "It’s never easy, but we understood the game well. There were moments when we dropped off and others when we pressed high. We played an almost perfect match, despite conceding a goal at the end."
🚨🗣️ Rodrygo: "Mbappé played an incredible match against a very strong opponent. We are very happy for him. He is an amazing player. He joined a great team, and now we have added another great player. We are a fantastic team."
🚨🗣️ Rodrygo: "Next opponent? You can’t choose. It will be very difficult, just like this match against Manchester City. If we go to Germany, it will also be tough."
🚨🗣️ Rodrygo: "The ‘Fantastic Four’ nickname? We don’t care much about these things, but we like it. We are playing very well and understanding each other perfectly."
