Gonzalo Garcia, a player for Real Madrid, expressed his happiness after contributing to the team's qualification for the quarter-finals of the FIFA Club World Cup, following his decisive winning goal in the match against Juventus (1-0).

The player said after the match: "Leaving amidst the applause of the fans is an incredible feeling. I felt a lot of emotion and happiness. I am happy to have scored the goal, but my greatest joy was in winning and the fighting spirit we showed. We fought until the last moment, and I am proud to qualify for the quarter-finals."

Regarding his decisive goal, he explained: "I saw a wonderful pass from Trent Alexander-Arnold, and when Rudiger didn't shoot, I thought: this is my chance! I tried with all my might to get the ball in. It doesn't matter if the goal was with my head or knee; what matters is the joy of scoring in a Real Madrid shirt."

Concerning his overall performance in the tournament, he added: "I am happy to have scored three goals and provided an assist, but these numbers mean nothing if the team as a whole doesn't work hard. Spirit and teamwork are what gave us the victory."

He continued: "We knew that the confrontation would be fast and intense; the start was difficult, but as time went on, we improved. We tried to exhaust the opponent by moving the ball from side to side to get as close as possible to their area."

He concluded regarding his comparison to the club legend Raul Gonzalez: "It is a comparison that honors me a lot. I spent two years under his guidance as a coach, and I learned a lot from him. Being compared to him is more than just a compliment; it is a great honor."
