The victory carried personal significance for Koke, who reached a remarkable 747 appearances in red and white. The club icon insisted he remains fully committed to leading the team through its latest tactical evolution.
He emphasized that squad rotation and collective effort will dictate their trophy pursuit this term.
“It’s hard work, things have been done well and it means I still have a long way to go,” Koke added. “Hopefully there will be many more. The important thing is to help the team from wherever I am needed, that’s why I’m the captain.”
