At the full-time whistle, the Brazilian commented: “I feel great joy and emotion. It’s even tough for me to speak because I can see my family and all of my teammates here. The season was what it was and we’ve deserved it, this is a strange moment in my head. I’ve won the Champions League five times and never would have thought that I’d achieve that.”
“We were all sweating, running and fighting with the team. These moments are for the young lads, who have just played their first final and are already very mature. It’s a crazy moment, we have to congratulate the fans who have been behind us all the way”.
Asked about the coach, he said, “We all know about the coach, he’s got his philosophy and his character. He’s an amazing person and he’s deserved it ever since he came in”.
