Kepa: “In order to leave your mark on Real Madrid history, you have to win things" | OneFootball

Kepa Arrizabalaga gave his first interview since arriving at our club to Realmadrid TV: “First and foremost, I feel happy and proud to belong to Real Madrid, a club with so much history. Everything happened very quickly. I'm delighted to be here, getting to know the facilities, my teammates. I can't wait to get started as soon as possible."

“Real Madrid and the Champions League are footballing history. I hope that by working together we can add further to this club's legendary status and win even more. It's striking to see the 14 all lined up. If you want to leave your mark at Real Madrid, you have to win things. All the history this club has is based around winning."

His contribution to the team “I always say I wouldn't like to define myself, I'd rather have other people do that. I try and bring a sense of security to the team, to the defence, to be a sensible goalkeeper and help the team at all times."

Feelings  “Once you get to Real Madrid, it's really the pinnacle. Being here makes me incredibly happy and I can promise I'll bring hard work and commitment. I want to give everything I possibly can to the team every day, surrounded by these incredibly talented players, and I want to improve and make the team better."

Support for Courtois and Militão “I'm sending them all my best. These are tough times, it's perhaps the worst part of football. I hope they get back fit quickly and I'd like to send them a big hug. I hope they can be back out on the pitch as soon as possible.”

Santiago Bernabéu “I played as the opposition there last year and now I'm excited to see the home dressing room. I can't wait to make my debut there. I hope to see you all in the Santiago Bernabéu soon. Hala Madrid!”
