“I am named Rubén after Baraja, and the other name my father considered was David, after Albelda.”

“Wearing the first-team shirt was a dream.” “Even though I have very strong feelings, I wanted to keep developing as a player and as a person.”

“It was a very hard moment that you never imagine can happen.”
