He admitted that it has not been easy, but he has found support in the team's dressing room, particularly from fellow Spaniards Fabian Ruiz and Marco Verratti. The striker also talked about his former Barcelona teammate Pedri, jokingly saying that he is the only one he cannot bring with him to Paris.

If a Spanish player wins, he added, it would be better for him.
