Varane: "When we play like that we know we can win"

Raphael Varane sealed the win for Real Madrid with a great header from a corner taken by Ozil. The French centre back expressed how the team felt after the match: "We are happy and when we play like that, as a team, we know we can win. Now we have to move forward and think about the final and our next matches".

One of the keys to victory in the Camp Nou was Mourinho’s team’s security at the back. Varane said the following about the team's work in defence: "Barcelona are a difficult team to defend against because they have very fast players, so we played tight together and tried not to leave spaces". On a personal level, he said: "I try to improve and learn, that is good for my career. I'm ready to play and to help the team and that is what I am here for".
