""He's going through his best moment since he's been at Atleti, in terms of consistency, because he gives us a lot of things with his diagonal runs, holding the ball up, scoring important goals, having chances in almost every game. "We need that player. The cross was not one of the best, but Alex improved it, and it was a good header to make it a great goal.""
""As happens with all important players, there are stages when they are not at their best, like he is experiencing at the moment, in terms of goals. "Against Deportivo, he was good; against [Real] Madrid, he was also very good. Today he played a very good game, and the goal will come. "He had one shot that was going in the corner and was blocked by a defender. It's very important, we need him, and he'll come""
