Gabi
400 games in the top flight: "I'm over the moon. They're stats I will cherish when I stop playing".
An important win: "The game left us with a good impression. We've taken a step forward by beating a tough team like Sevilla; a game in which we were far superior".
In what areas did you manage to come out on top? "In taking control of the game. We set the pace and the result is definitely well deserved".
Filipe Luis
Current run of form: "At the moment we're in good shape, both physically and in our confidence. We know each other's game and we are enjoying our football. That's the most difficult thing. For sure, there will be tough times ahead, but we have to keep up our levels of concentration. Diego Costa is a really big signing. He's among the best three strikers in the world and has won trophies and is one of the most ambitious players I've ever seen".
Simeone's rotations: "He rotated last year because he rarely uses the same eleven every game. The important thing is that maybe you won't be picked and then the next time around you're in the starting eleven. The competition for places just gets bigger and bigger. In the end it's the team that wins".
