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 Martín 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 Rodríguez, 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, Raúl 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 Álvarez, El País.

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.
