Todos en torno a Iker Casillas
Clos Gómez pitó el final de los 90 minutos. 1-1 y prórroga. Los jugadores del Madrid, nucleados en torno a Casillas que, de nuevo suplente, tiró de capitanía para dar un paso al frente y coger los mandos de un equipo sin referente técnico.
Mientras Karanka indagaba en vano el paradero de Mourinho, Casillas, experimentado en superar prórrogas en grandes citas, tomó el mando de la situación en el césped y se encargó de dar ánimos e instrucciones a sus compañeros. Todos, rodeándole, le escuchaban. Sin la presencia de Mourinho y su ayudante, él era la autoridad.
Al pitar Clos Gómez el final, Casillas volvió a ejercer de capitán. Fue consolando a sus compañeros y felicitando, uno a uno, a todos los jugadores rojiblancos

“I always knew that I would reach the first team, ever since I was twelve or thirteen years old. I remember standing on the Castellana Avenue with my father and seeing the Santiago Bernabeu. I thought to myself “one day I’m going to make it. I’m going to play in front of the Bernabeu.” When I used to watch Real Madrid against either Athletic Bilbao or Real Sociedad I knew that one day I would get my chance.” - Iker Casillas
