"I was a bit angry with the substitution because I wanted to score another goal"

Real Madrid striker Rodrygo Goes, who scored a brace to give his side a 2-1 win at Sevilla, admitted he was "a little bit" annoyed by his substitution, when he was replaced after 81 minutes by Nacho Fernandez, because he wanted to "score another goal", although Carlo Ancelotti told him that "it was fine" and that "they were going to win, and that's it".

The Spanish-Brazilian, who has scored nine goals in La Liga including the two at the Ramon Sanchez-Pizjuan, told 'DAZN' that they are "very happy for the win" in this "penultimate game" of the competition, in which they tried to "play very serious and focused", and considered that, like on Saturday, they also "played well" in the game against Rayo Vallecano.

"We are also very happy to have won away," said Rodrygo, who said of his goals that "it is difficult to choose" one, because he believes that "both were beautiful", although "the second was a little more so", after a perfect counter-attack, although he admitted that "scoring a free-kick is always special and I hadn't done it for a long time, but I'm happy for both of them".

On free-kicks, the Madrid striker commented that they "always" train and talk "beforehand", that the team has good free-kick takers and "whoever is more confident takes it", and said that on this occasion he took "the ball", although they have "a lot of confidence in all" their team-mates.
