‘It’s so exciting tonight for our fans,’ he continued. ‘All of these people, that have come down here to see Leo just step on the pitch – let alone just do what he’s done. Honestly Sergio’s performance was incredible.

‘But tonight is about the people. It’s about this. This is what we always saw as our vision, me and Jorge and Jose, and the club.

‘This is what we saw. So this is such a special night for us, for our fan, for everyone that’s in this stadium, for you guys. It is such a moment for this country. It is such a moment for this league. And it’s a very proud moment for us.’
