00:00Good evening again. We'll start with the player of the match, Dani Carvajal.
00:05As previously, questions in English, Spanish or German, please.
00:09We'll start in the middle, please, here. In the middle.
00:30Carvajal in Madrid. I don't know, tell me what's going through your head, it's going to be better than what I'm telling you.
00:36Well, you couldn't have a better prediction, right?
00:39I'm very, very happy, really.
00:41Especially to get this new European Cup for the club.
00:44And especially on a personal level, to be able to score is an incredible feeling.
00:49To be able to score a goal in a Champions League final,
00:51also when the most stuck game was coming up.
00:55I'm telling you, it's been a dream day for me.
01:00Hi Dani, I'm MartĂn from OK Diario.
01:09Six European Cups, equal to Paco Gento, to you, to Nacho, to Modric and to Kroos.
01:16What can you tell us?
01:18Well, I'm very happy to be part of this select club of five players.
01:23We only have six European Cups.
01:26Every time we get one, I think it's going to be more difficult for them to take this away from us.
01:32Because it's very, very difficult to win a European Cup.
01:35And I'm very happy, right?
01:37Especially to have been able to enjoy the six from the starting line-up, with the club of my life.
01:43I don't know, I'm radiating happiness.
01:49Hi Dani, Abraham Romero, El Mundo.
01:51In May 2004, you scored the first goal in the Ciudad Deportiva de Valladolid.
01:56Twenty years later, you score the goal.
02:01Following the emotions, I don't know if during the game, during the celebration,
02:06after the final whistle, you remembered that boy.
02:09What would you say to him, or what do you remember?
02:13Well, it's true that I was having some feelings during the game.
02:17And well, the goal also confirms when you're confident.
02:23Well, when the referee whistled, I got emotional.
02:26Especially knowing that my children, my wife, are in the stadium.
02:30Seeing how I arrived as a kid.
02:34And here I am, with two children, with more than 21 years,
02:40defending the shirt of this club.
02:44And making history with the team, I think it's fantastic.
02:48And I'm going to enjoy it, to celebrate it, and we deserve it.
02:54Hi Dani, down here, to the left, Arantxa RodrĂguez, La Cadena Copa.
02:58Hi, how are you?
02:59Who has crossed your mind at the moment when you,
03:03the shortest, I think, of those who were on the pitch,
03:05has scored that header, and then you had the opportunity to score another one.
03:09What have you thought?
03:11All the memories that have come to you,
03:13your first thoughts at that moment?
03:15Well, the truth is that I ran out to celebrate it.
03:18It was like, inside, I felt like a rage to score.
03:23I mean, the feeling, the...
03:26Here I am, right?
03:27It was a bit like that.
03:29And well, in the end, not everything is the height, right?
03:31I think that, after all,
03:34entering the duels, jumping with determination,
03:37well, many times you reach success.
03:41Hi Dani, RaĂșl Varela, live for Radio Marca.
03:44Tomorrow you might miss the celebration of the Lega,
03:47it's going up, right?
03:48Which is another reason for you to be satisfied.
03:50If you could say something to Paco Gento,
03:53would you tell him right now, next year I'll beat you?
03:56Well, hopefully tomorrow I can go up,
03:58you beat him at home, I'll be watching.
04:00They almost had him the other day.
04:03It's a shame, in the last minutes.
04:05Well, Paco Gento, in the end,
04:07to tell him that we equaled him,
04:09it seemed impossible.
04:11We joined him.
04:13It's something fantastic.
04:15And well, hopefully, why not?
04:17Dream with someone else, right?
04:19Let's enjoy now, it's a fantastic moment.
04:22And what has to come in the future,
04:24well, it will come.
04:26Hi Dani, here.
04:27Congratulations on the victory.
04:28I'm Lucas Navarrete from Manage in Madrid.
04:30You've been attacking the whole game,
04:32is it something unusual?
04:34I don't know if it's something that has influenced
04:36Ancelotti in today's game plan.
04:38Yes, yes, well, in the strategy,
04:41I had to take care of a block,
04:44or if not, attack the first post hard.
04:46I've seen that my mark wasn't too strong with me,
04:49and I've seen the space,
04:51I almost scored one before the goal,
04:53which happened close,
04:54and I decided to attack the first post,
04:56and well, luckily, I scored the equalizer
04:58that I scored in Seville, right?
04:59Attacking the first post and being decisive.
05:02How are you, Dani?
05:03Live from the Cadena Ser in Carousel Deportivo.
05:05Javier Arraez, congratulations on the title.
05:07Thank you.
05:08I wanted to ask you if you already have the heart of a striker.
05:10No, no, not much less.
05:12The first thing is to defend for a side.
05:15Yes, it's true that today I've been decisive
05:18on an offensive level,
05:20but what can you do, what can you do?
05:24At the moment, I stay with the defensive positions.
05:28Hi, Radek Sedlmayer, Forum Sport.
05:30First of all, huge congratulations
05:32on your sixth Champions League title.
05:34In your entire career,
05:36you scored only two goals in the Champions League.
05:38Did you save your entire career for just this goal?
05:42Do you feel like a club legend now?
05:44Because after today,
05:46we can rightfully call you a legend.
05:48Thank you.
05:50Well, maybe I should leave it like Toni, right?
05:53After this goal...
05:55Well, I think it was a fantastic circle.
05:57As we said before,
05:59I put the first stone 20 years ago.
06:01And, well, who knows me,
06:03who knows what I work on every day,
06:05what I try to show in the dressing room,
06:08well...
06:10I don't know.
06:12I don't know.
06:14I don't know.
06:16I don't know.
06:18Well, when several players,
06:20several people from the staff,
06:22the vast majority tell you that you deserve it,
06:24well, I think you end up believing it, right?
06:26In the end,
06:28you see what it means,
06:30how you are with your teammates,
06:32with the club, what you feel.
06:34And, well, many times when you are constant
06:36and the work accompanies the successes
06:38and the reward comes.
06:44Hi, Dani.
06:45Alejandro Rosas.
06:49Where?
06:51Hi, Dani.
06:52Oh, sorry.
06:53Alejandro Rosas, El Dia magazine.
06:55Congratulations first.
06:56Thank you.
06:57A moment ago you said that the game
06:59had become complicated, right?
07:01You were distracted with your goal.
07:03Why do you think the game became so complicated?
07:05Well, a very bad first half,
07:07a very good one from Dortmund.
07:09We don't deserve a draw, it's a reality.
07:11I think that in the dressing room,
07:13when we get to the break,
07:15we know and we say that we came out alive
07:17against a bad first half,
07:19which was going to be our moment.
07:21And I think that with some tactical adjustment
07:23in the second half, we suffered much less.
07:25And in the end, I think that level of intensity
07:27in the first half has made it easier for them.
07:29And we have found more spaces
07:31and there we have been able to counter them.
07:35Laszlo Nier.
07:36Hi, Dani.
07:37David Ălvarez, El PaĂs.
07:39I wanted to ask you about Gento.
07:41You met him, you dealt with him.
07:43I'm sure you met him in many acts.
07:46What do you remember about him?
07:48Did you ever talk about the possibility
07:50of reaching him?
07:52When he passed away, you were still four,
07:54but there was still time for you.
07:56What do you remember about him?
07:58Well, the truth is that I haven't had
08:00the opportunity to talk too much with him.
08:02But when he was travelling with us,
08:04he was a person who had a lot of respect
08:06for the legend that is Gento del Club.
08:08He was very polite,
08:10very close to what the dressing room is to us.
08:14He will always be in everyone's memory
08:16as a great Madrid player
08:18and as a legend of Madrid without a doubt.
