Despite the ongoing discussions about their partnership, the ex-PSG star expressed his happiness at playing alongside Vinicius, as reported by Mundo Deportivo.

In an interview with Real Madrid TV after the game, he shared:

"The truth is that we try to look for each other in the game and in training to create this connection because we know that we can help the team.
