The 1991-born player shared some statements with Sky's microphones just minutes before the start of the match valid for the thirteenth round of the championship.

“The smile I have is from the emotion of this moment. It’s one of the most beautiful of my life, I hope to remember it forever.” “Return to Italy? I would really love to, as soon as I set foot here I felt something different that reminded me what this country means to me.” The Colombian concluded: “The president (Percassi, ed.) told me: ‘come back,’ and I told him: ‘president, it depends on you.’ I want to return, I don’t know what might happen in the future.”
