Ramos and Modric recall the play by Lisbon's goal that sent Real Madrid into overtime and from there to Tenth with goals from Bale, Marcelo and Cristiano.
“The first thing that comes to mind when I think of Lisbon is the trophy, the Champions League, after so many years of fighting to be able to enjoy that final first and after being able to win it. You remember all your family and the sacrifice and effort that it has cost you for many years. It is the beauty of football, the reward of being able to raise a Champions League and add it to your resume. ”

"I think about the DNA of Real Madrid, the fight to the end. As long as there is a possibility, there is a minute or a second I have always been aware that it could be done ”.
RAMOS: "AS LONG AS THERE WAS A POSSIBILITY, A MINUTE, I HAVE ALWAYS BEEN AWARE THAT IT COULD BE."
"It is true that in the end it is a great shot, especially for the execution, the jump, the distance, the goalkeeper Thibaut, who covers a lot of goal. I think there was only that corner where the ball could enter. It was a good Modric center, I get into the far post because it is where there are more players and I can block myself with some movement. I have the Godín brand, they were Bale, Christian… I make a hint towards the second stick and I get inside. In those tenths of a second, with so much player and so much stir, Godín does not have time to get there because he won the position. That meter allows me to advance alone bordering the penalty spot and head practically only with a perfect execution in the 93rd minute that gave us the equalizer to go into extra time ”.
Modric: "I was convinced that we were going to score"
“I was very calm, with the conviction that we were going to score a goal. Sergio was in a good place, he placed himself very well and, then, how he got it is history. It was incredible".
“We had practiced a lot during the season this corner. We also put him in previous games like the Champions League against Bayern and some League matches. It was important to put a good ball where I put it, but then Sergio made a good move and the shot was perfect ”.
