— It was an emotion I had never felt in my life, nothing ever came close to what it was. The heat of the game, the fans, the stadium, it was unbelievable, truly absurd. It made us fight even harder on the field seeing the fans' celebration as we left the training center, everyone on the street shouting, jumping on the bus stop -, he emphasized, before concluding:

— I even thought it was going to break, there were so many people (laughs). With each goal, we got goosebumps and felt that victory was coming, that the qualification was on its way, and, thank God, we achieved it in the best possible way. It was difficult, but nothing is impossible for God, and everything worked out. We will continue with our feet on the ground and our heads held high -, concluded Carlos Miguel.
