“We’re Real Madrid and this crest teaches you to fight until the end”, added Odriozola.
Real Madrid ran out 1-0 winners at San Mamés courtesy of a Nacho goal and the defender reflected on the win in Bilbao in the following terms: “The aim was to win the game and for Atlético to slip out to allow us to win the LaLiga title, but there’s a game to go and we’re still in with a chance. They came from behind at the end and that shows that it’s never easy”.


“This is a tough place to come and Athletic are a very strong side that don’t afford many chances. The team did really well defensively. We struggled to create chances, but overall we put in a really good performance, were really impact and the most important thing is that we got the win”.

Race for LaLiga title
“There’s one game to go and we have to keep on fighting. Anything can happen in football. What this crest teaches you is to battle until the last minute and that’s what we’re doing”.

Unawarded penalty
“The issue of handballs is tricky. I saw it at half-time and it looked like a clear penalty, but, at the end of the day, you always look to defend your own interests”
