Iker Casillas appeared for the media in the press room at the Camp Nou. The Real Madrid captain analysed the match and showed the happiness that there was in his team’s dressing room: "My teammates were brilliant. They controlled every area of the field and were superb defensively. Everyone was at their best and pushed hard to make it through to the cup final. From off of the field I saw a very sober performance and a team that were barely under pressure. Real Madrid beat Barcelona on the tactical front and are justified winners of the tie. This match will motivate us to push ahead for the remainder of the season and it is a moment to celebrate and to share with everyone associated with Real Madrid, although we are conscious that we have not won the title"
The ex-academy player also spoke about the morale boost that this win brings: "You go out with extra strength and somehow more motivated after not having started as well as we wanted in the league. Hopefully this is a turning point to have won this tie and to make it better it was against Barcelona. We played a very good tie all round and this will motivate us to make a good showing of ourselves in other matches. Winning the Champions League is a better possibility than the league, but Real Madrid will fight to the end".
Casillas praised Cristiano Ronaldo, who had another brilliant match in the Camp Nou. "He is showing that he is a very important player for us. He is our focal point and in these matches he has shown how good he is. Ronaldo is a vital player and is going through a very good run of form and we must take full advantage of that. He was superb. His renewal? That will have to be decided between the club and the player. The main thing is that he brings us these moments of happiness". About to Diego Lopez, he said: "He is a great goalkeeper and I think he has been a very important addition and brings us some calmness".
The Real Madrid captain hopes to continuity to this result in the Champions League tie against Manchester United: "We have to transfer this to the match against Manchester United. It is also 1-1 and we have to score and keep a clean sheet. That is the aim that we’re going with. Manchester United know how to play football, it is a difficult place to visit and we have to take what we have done today to Old Trafford".
About the La Liga Clasico at the Bernabeu on Saturday, he said: "I know several players from Barcelona and I know they are competitive. We have to be aware that in the league, when we do not win, the fans suffer and it is our duty to fight in every match and the next one is against Barcelona. What we want to do is win and keep cutting their lead. It is a disadvantage that it might not be as big as it is, but this competition is about consistency and in that regard Barcelona have been better than us. We will go out to win to cut the distance in terms of points. It is a considerable distance, but with the added bonus of our home fans we want to round off the week well".
Finally, he gave reasons for him appearing in the press room: "I came because we have decided that it was good time for the captain to make an appearance. It was an idea that came from the dressing room. I hope that has not bothered anyone because I have done it happily. We decided it was a time to enjoy and for me as team captain to come out to congratulate the team and everyone associated with Real Madrid".
