Koke after Courtois' statements: "We shouldn't give more importance to what he said."

Koke Resurrection, captain of Atletico Madrid, admitted that Real Madrid was the "right" winner of the Champions League. In addition, he assured that he made a "spectacular" competition and buried the controversy with Thibaut Courtois, who said that he is now on "the good side of history".

"Of course it was fair, Real Madrid has made a spectacular Champions League. They eliminated the biggest teams, beyond comebacks. Until the referee blows the final whistle, the match is not over and if they have won, it's because they deserve it. They are fair winners and it doesn't matter how they did it because in the end, they are remembered for winning," he said at a press conference in Prague with the national team.

Koke was asked about Courtois' statement and wanted to close the controversy. "We must not give more importance to what he said, it is his opinion and we must respect it. Beyond good and bad sides, we are a team and a fanbase and we should never forget where one comes from and try to respect it to the maximum. What Thibaut said is in the past," he concluded.

Koke and the Spanish National Team

The Spanish national team is looking for its first victory in the third edition of the Nations League, in which they debuted with a draw in Seville against Portugal. Koke's balance was good. "We feel strong, we played a good game, we could have won because we had more chances, more possession, it was a shame the draw but this is a long journey and tomorrow we want to play a good game. We wanted to win all four matches and we want to start doing it tomorrow," he said.

"I would like to score a goal with the national team," he confessed. "I have played many matches, I have not had the opportunity and I want to do it. I am doing everything possible to achieve it, but if I don't and the team wins, I will still be happy because the important thing is for the team to win, but I would like to score goals," Koke stated.
