I’m not an albiceleste but it’s an absolute joy to watch football this pretty.

Here’s a post-match interview from AS, translated from Spanish:

Kun, has this been your best match in the ninety-nine that you’ve played with Atlético Madrid, or at least, the one you’ve enjoyed the most?

To be honest, I’m just happy and so is the team. Forlán was sensational the whole time, and so was the defense, and by luck I also had a good game and the team won, which is what’s important.

Which one of your two goals was your favorite?

The first was good, but I liked the last one I scored. The match was ending and it was a joy to seal the match that way. I was happy and even happier for the supporters, which is why I celebrated so much.

Do you now know what it’s like to be an Atleti supporter? On nights like these, a fan celebrates much…

Yes, it’s true that there’s a ton of Atleti diehards. Last night, I think that the 55,000 that were there enjoyed the match and I hope that the following matches are similar.

How does it feel when the entire world is screaming your name, and when you score two goals like the ones you did to a team like Barça?

To be honest, it was something beautiful. First of all, you don’t expect to win in this fashion, with so many goals and such a suspenseful ending. And of course, when you make the difference in the end and you’re celebrating it, seeing how the people are so happy… it pleases me to see the supporters this happy. For my and for the team, it was very pleasing.

All the bad temptations to leave gotten past you, right?

As of now I’m happy at Atlético and if the club wants me to stay, I’ll stay.

Man, of course the club and the fans want to keep you, what happens is that after nights like the one against Barcelona, there are more teams the begin to want you…

Well, every time that you do well you’ll get offers, but like I said before, if a player is comfortable and happy at their club it’s impossible to leave it. There’s no reason to leave.

Do you have any goals in store for the visit to the Bernabeu this Sunday?

Hopefully, God hears me out, because it’ll be a good match and well, if I’m not in the zone, hopefully Forlán is so we can win.

Because of playing style, is it harder to play against Madrid than against Barcelona?

They’re different, but Barça has more quality players and they attack more. Madrid also attacks, but not as much as Barça and I think that if we play like we did on Sunday, as a team and the 4 attackers hurting the opposition, things will go well in the derby.

Hey Kun, how’s Benjamin?

Well, Benjamin is still a few days old and I finally took him to the pitch, and by luck we won the match and I scored for him.

You should probably take him to the Bernabeu, eh?

Yeah, we’ll try to take him to the Bernabeu. He’s a good kid, and luckily he doesn’t cry too much. He wiggles a lot, but he doesn’t kick yet. I’ve changed his diapers a few times, because if someone wants to have a kid, they have to do everything!
