"We feel good about the first match with Barcelona. It was a pleasant game and the fans enjoyed what they saw. Two great teams clashed, but Real Madrid deserved to win. We did more than Barcelona and we know it's in our hands to defeat them and win the Spanish Super Cup."
"We kept possession and didn't allow them to play their game. That's just what one has to do against such an opponent. We want this title and the draw allows us to be optimistic. I'm convinced the match in Barcelona will be open and we'll fight to win."
"I did a lot of defensive work. That was all planned. The coach wanted us forwards to pressurise in attack to prevent Barcelona from creating ball movement. I think we did this well, proving such tactics were efficient."
"I felt fresh. I'm in good form and don't even have minor niggles. It's therefore logical for me to give nice performances. I've spoken with Mourinho and I understand what he wants me to do. I'm fit and ready to do what he asks. Everyone knows I did specific work during the holidays and it was very effective."
