“I am very happy for the boys again. They have shown again commitment, effort, that they can adapt to difficult and new circumstances for them, like playing in a great stadium in Europe, against a great team that for many moments in the game has been superior to us. We have been able to resist, but they have very clear the ideas and the desire and determination are already implicit in them, so it is a day for them to enjoy and to see the beautiful things awaiting for them”, he said.

Torres also called the player to enjoy hard the qualification and soon turn the focus to the next League fixtures, as they are currently on top spot. The Red-and-white side are still competing in La Liga, King’s Cup, and UEFA Youth League: “Let’s keep on believing. Today we have to enjoy, let them be aware of what they have done, and from tomorrow when we’ll get off to Madrid we have to think about aor next league game, which is a competition we also want to win, where we are on top spot. So there are 72 hours ahead to recover and return to reality, which is the league and it depends on them. If they keep on winning, it means Good things will come”.

“The first team always show us the way. Yesterday we were all watching the game together, we enjoyed the solid team that we are used to seeing, The team that knows how to compete and overcome any circumstance and I think that this gave us energy, that extra we needed today for believing. This club needs to believe in order to achieve its objectives and yesterday the first team showed us and today the boys have shown that they are a little closer to one day getting there”, Torres said.

The member of the squad David Navarro also spoke to the Club’s Academy official media: “It has been incredible, the team has given their all in a stadium like this, where it is incredible to play and the truth is that I am speechless. We knew it was going to be a complicated game, where there were going to be a lot of fans in the stands. We also knew they were an offensive team, but we have been working very well and being a very solid team, and in the end hard work pays off”.

Goalkeeper Iturbe highlighted that the youth team “are making history. I think the team deserves it, we have worked very hard for this moment and we are all very happy. I think my job s to help the team as much as I can. I am very happy at an individual level, but even more at a collective level because the team played a great game”.
