Butragueo discussed how the Santiago Bernabeu upgrades will benefit the club in the future.

“The new stadium is something that gets a lot of madridistas excited. All of us are looking forward for that moment to come because we believe that it will be something which will make our fans very proud. We understand that it will be a turning point for the club and that a new era will begin after its opening,” said Butragueño.

Vinicius, who has become an important player for the team since the season began, was inevitably asked about the club’s spokesperson.

“He has many good skills, he has great character and you need that to play at the Bernabeu. Talent, which he has, is not enough. He signed for us while he was very young and you need to understand what it means to go in front of 80,000 fans with our jersey. He showed great courage and you need that to play for Madrid. Then, you have his skills as a player. Such great acceleration, which is hard to find in the world of football. We’re witnessing amazing plays and he’s only 21 years old. We’re excited about him and what he can bring to the table. He’s one of the stars of our team right now, no question,” he added.

New signing has been made. David Alaba has also been one of the team’s most important players thus far this season.

“It hasn’t been that surprising because we knew the kind of player he was. We’re talking about a big champion, he won everything for Bayern. He had an ability to adapt himself to this club in a short period of time. Maybe the way he is and the leadership he has helped him in this regard. He has become one of our own, he’s a great teammate and a great professional. We’re more than happy with him,” explained Butragueño.

Meanwhile…

In Brazil’s 1-0 win over Colombia in Sao Paulo, Casemiro played the entire 90 minutes. Vinicius Jr. came on for the final 45 minutes and looked sharp. On the day, Eder Militao was an unused substitution.

The win all but secures Brazil’s place in the next World Cup. Their place in Qatar will be officially booked if Uruguay fail to beat Argentina tomorrow.

The only Real Madrid player that began the game was Casemiro. Tite had both Eder Militao and Vinicius Jr. available off the bench. Brazil was ranked top in CONMEBOL World Cup Qualifying, while Colombia was ranked fifth. However, in a 0-0 tie in Colombia, Los Cafeteros were the only team to take points off Brazil in this qualifying round.
