“Now we have to think about LaLiga and forget the Copa”, he added.


After the game against Barcelona, Casemiro spoke to the press, saying: “We fought till the end, worked tirelessly, played some good football and we gave ourselves some chances. That is how football goes. If you don’t take the game to a big team like them they will cause you trouble at the back. El Clásico comes down to these little details. They made three chances and scored them all. Now we have to think about LaLiga and forget the Copa”.

El Clásico this Saturday
“When we make the chances we have to score the goals. We played one of the best first halves of the year, but that’s neither here nor there. If we lose, we lose as a team. If we win, it’s exactly the same”.

The penalty
“I gave away the penalty and we were missing a player. I didn’t complain. I tried to get the ball but Suarez was smarter than me and it was a penalty”.

Cristiano Ronaldo
“We can’t talk about a player who isn’t playing for us. We have to talk about the best number nine in the world, Benzema, Vinicius Jr., Lucas Vázquez and Bale, who are great players and we have to fight with them”.
