Éder Militão spoke about the quality of Real Madrid's squad and the team's ability to handle the pressure of matches, saying: "All players must be ready, as we are facing many matches in a short period of time, and the coach always ensures that all players are prepared."

He concluded his remarks: "Today, Endrick and Valverde participated, with Valverde scoring the winning goal. The coach is managing the group very well, and all the players are ready to get their chance and contribute to the team."
