“He’s just one of those players, right? He is terrific; he is really smart, has exceptional technical ability, and is also an excellent teammate. He doesn’t just rely on his talent; he works as hard for the squad as the rest of the guys. Credit to him; he deserves it.
“He’s fit nicely in, and this is a fantastic squad. It’s an excellent dressing room for greeting players, and we’ll do the same for him. I’m confident he’ll give us additional prizes as he did tonight.
“The speed, the quality, the work done without the ball, and his leadership style. I cannot recommend him highly enough. It’s a huge step for him. People have been talking about him coming here for a long time, and it appears like he has been here for quite some time.”
Madrid will begin their La Liga campaign in 2024/25 with a trip to Mallorca on August 18.
