A dream come true. All these fans waited I don’t know how many years. They deserve, we deserve. The last years we were so close. I just want to thank everyone. It wasn’t easy. What a team we faced, the way they defend and counter-attack. Finals are like this. You can’t expect to play well as always. Emotions and nerves are there. We competed like animals. We want more. More ambition. It’s a dream. This moment will never happen again. We hope next year but we deserve to celebrate.”My son’s name from now on is Rodri 💙😍💪🏻🇸🇦🏴 pic.twitter.com/vWKflCZ3nf— نـاصـر (@betr44) June 10, 2023
