"I'm very happy to be back here. I have good memories of the World Cup with the Spain national team here."
"What we have shown over the last four months is our ability to overcome different situations. It'll be a close game. Flamengo are a very good side, so it'll be a difficult match."
"I think this final is a great opportunity. We're aware of the importance of the game, of the good fortune we have to be playing in the Intercontinental Cup final. It's important as a team and as a club to have the chance to play in this game."
"Flamengo are in a good moment, they have won a lot of trophies. I like the way they play football. I remember their performances in the Club World Cup this season, they played some great matches. They're a top quality team with and without the ball."
"Make history with Paris, that was our aim last season. Keep making history is now the goal of this season. We'll have to be ready and switched on all game. Each action could be important and decisive. We are ready. This season, I think the team has shown the same attitude as they already had last season."
