Casemiro: “Karim Benzema, he was number 9, but he wasn’t a 9, he was a 10. He dropped so much, gave space for Bale and Cristiano. Bale, he needs space, and Benzema gave him space. Then him and Cristiano ran into the space.”

Casemiro: “Gareth Bale, in the biggest moment, in the finals of the Champions League, the cup, he scored. He scored twice vs Liverpool, he scored vs Atletico. Cristiano is from another world, out of the conversation, but for me, Bale was top, top.”

Casemiro: “How difficult was it playing against Lionel Messi? Every time, I didn’t speak too much, didn’t push because I don’t want to make him angry. I make a tackle, and then ‘sorry, sorry’ (laughs). You can’t stop him, it’s impossible. Barcelona would be playing bad, then Messi goal, 3 points.”

Casemiro: “Before every game, Cristiano Ronaldo would say: ‘Case, today is a special game, unbelievable game’. I would say ‘what Cris? Cris, come on?’And he would say ‘I smell goals’.”
