Friday 13-02-2026
Atletico Madrid star Nahuel Molina expressed his great happiness with the 4-0 victory over Barcelona in the first leg of the Spanish King's Cup semi-final, while also emphasizing that the qualification ticket has not been secured yet.

The player said: "Very happy, of course. Winning in this way, against a very strong opponent, and with our fans, makes us feel very happy. We achieved an important result, but nothing is decided yet. Now we need to rest and think about what's next."

He added: "We knew they had an advanced defensive line. The idea was to exploit the spaces behind them and draw them forward. Defensively, we also played a great match; the team was cohesive and smart."

He continued: "Nothing is decided despite this result. This club forces you to approach every match with a winning mentality. We have an important match coming up soon, so now we rest and think about the next stage."

Regarding the chances of winning the King's Cup, he said: "When you reach the semifinals, you feel that the title is closer, but this club demands that you compete for everything. We will fight in the league, in the Champions League, and in the cup we will give our utmost."

He concluded about the team's playing style in the next match: "It depends on the coach's decision. If he decides for us to press forward, we will do so, and if he asks us to fall back, we will comply. The most important thing is to secure qualification in the best possible way."
