Real Madrid star Rodrygo Goes expressed his happiness after qualifying for the Spanish Super Cup final, following a 2-1 victory over Atlético Madrid in the semifinal at the Al Inma Stadium in Jeddah.

The Brazilian star said, "A great victory. We struggled, and in matches like these, you have to know how to endure in order to reach the final. We did that perfectly. When we had the ball, we were good as well, and we won, and that is what matters most."

About his goal: "It was a wonderful attack. I was playing a bit on the wings, then the coach asked me to play deeper. Valverde passed me the ball, I went one-on-one with the goalkeeper, and calmly, I successfully finished the attack."

He added: "I feel good and very confident. I have the trust of my teammates and the coach, and that is the most important thing. I play more, get more playing time, and start in the lineup. Naturally, confidence, goals, and assists return. I try to help the team in any way possible. If I don’t score or assist in a match, I try to run and defend... I have to contribute one way or another."

About Valverde's goal: "We gave Valverde our confidence. The free kick was a bit far, so we asked him to take the shot. Thanks to his powerful shots, he should be taking at least 10 shots per match. A wonderful goal, in the style of Roberto Carlos, it was beautiful."

He concluded about the final match against Barcelona: "It will be another tough game, as usual. But we are performing well, and we are focused. Now it's time to rest, and after that, we will think about the final match."
