At the end of the match, which ended with a Sporting victory over Estrela da Amadora (4-0), the defender praised his teammates, as well as Rui Borges, whom he says has been fundamental since arriving at Alvalade at the end of 2024.

"We knew it was going to be a tough game, the team is very focused, not only coming off great results, but also great performances, and that gives the team a lot of confidence. We started strong, scored early, it was a game totally dominated by Sporting, it’s a deserved victory," he analyzed for the Club’s official media.
Regarding the fact that this was the third game without conceding a goal, the player highlighted the daily work being done: "That’s excellent, as a defender I value it a lot. We study a lot, we work a lot with coach Ricardo Chaves, who is our reference in defense, and also on set pieces with Fernando Morato. It’s paying off, the games show that, and may we continue like this."
The defender highlighted the team’s good moment: "Yes, very important. We know a sequence of tough away games is coming, but we are prepared, a big club is like this, these are the games everyone wants to play and we are ready for what’s coming, we’ll give a great response."
Matheus Reis also spoke about the 50 matches of Rui Borges at the helm of the Lions: "He gave us a lot of calm, already games, it went by quickly. I’m very happy for him, he deserves it, he helps us a lot, may there be many more games here and may he help us achieve great things."
The 30-year-old player also thanked the fans for once again turning out in large numbers at Alvalade: "That motivates us a lot, the strength they give us, not just here but every day, I’m very happy for their support, may they continue to support us, all together", he concluded.
