The homegrown players: “Nothing special, they showed their quality. They have it. It's a good experience for them to be with us, to work, to train, to have minutes with us. They are young, they and others, and they have a lot of qualities. We always keep an eye on them.”
The atmosphere when they arrived in Murcia: “Very important for the team, for the players it’s very good, they stayed with the fans to sign jerseys, it’s also a great day in that sense.”
Endrick : “He had a good match, scoring is a detail, he moved well, he had chances, his movements are always effective. He lacked precision, but he had a very good match. And on the right side , he was very dangerous. He has to be patient, he will score goals when we need them.
Valverde : “He was very good, he played 45 minutes and we thought it was good for him. He came out very fresh from the Valencia match. He took minutes from others. He is doing very well. GOOD.”
Vallejo could leave: “I don't know, it's his decision. He wasn't available, he had a little discomfort. It's better not to take any risks.”

Modric : “It's a gift for football. Even more for those who can appreciate it up close, the fans, the teammates, the coach… all of Real Madrid. For me it's a great gift, especially Because of the way he prepares for this type of match, he prepares them as if it were a final, it is a very important example for the young people.
