In the fifth round of the Champions League, Atletico Madrid defeated Inter Milan 2-1 at home. Atletico defender Jimenez, who scored the winning goal, was interviewed after the game.
You kissed the family photo on the shin guard after the goal.
I was with my children and at that moment I thought of them and the strength they give me every day. They always support me and always accompany me in trying to be the best I can be. This goal is dedicated to all those who love me: family, friends, those who have always been with me and believed in me in good times and bad.
Your shin pads prove it
My family, without them I wouldn’t be who I am today.
Does this victory bring Atletico Madrid closer to the top eight in the Champions League?
Our idea has always been to take it one game at a time. In fact, in this season's Champions League competition, the only thing that matters is the gradual accumulation of points. It was a very difficult game that we had to win and our position in the standings after this victory made us think and believe that we can advance directly (to the knockout stages of the Champions League).
Finally, let's talk about your goal. Griezmann's pass was great...
I asked him to pass the ball over. When Inter Milan defended intensively in the penalty area, it was difficult to deal with it, but when I sprinted at full speed, they couldn't stop me from fighting for the top. This is what I am good at. I asked him to lob the ball in and I just had to head it.
