— I am very grateful for everything he did for me. I have said many times, he is like a father to me. I know he is a Racing fan, that he is rooting for Racing, but, as I said, in the end, everyone has their way of playing, style of play, way of competing -, pointed out the former full-back, adding that:

— We know that Argentine teams compete very well, better than almost anyone, but we came to do our job, with our weapons, we know we have a team with a lot of quality and we know we are also capable of winning, so we have to play a game to deserve to be in the final -, he highlighted.
