Quotes
"I see the team doing well, wanting more. It's been a very good start, even with a comeback in the first game we played at the Santiago Bernabéu," Madrid star Brahim Diaz said.
"We're all bringing what we have to bring to the table. We're a team and there is a lot of talent. If that shows on the pitch, it's reflected in the points we have now with four wins out of four."
"I'm ready to help the team and contribute in the minutes I play. The other day I came on at a very good point in the game. The team was doing very well and I did my bit and everything went very well," he added.
"The coach was happy. He told me to make the most of every minute and to try to shake up the game. And that's what I did."
