“I was sad when he left Madrid and I celebrated my goals like that to show them that they lost something.”
In a video that emerged before the game, the striker is heard saying he will get a tattoo if he scores and with a brace, he has revealed that he will have to get two.
“I’ll have to get two then,” he said when he was asked about his pre-match comments.
"I am happy to have scored two goals, we really wanted to win the game and we were not far away, so we have to settle for a point, which is already a good result," he also said.
"I think it was down to the effort of the whole team, it would not be fair to say that it is due to my two goals.”
