Early this morning, Portugal defeated Spain and won the UEFA Champions League. Ruben Diaz was interviewed by the media after the game.

Dias said: "We are very happy that winning the championship for the country is a completely different experience. I believe that all the people are as proud as we are, both live and compatriots in the country. What will happen tomorrow is uncertain, but we look forward to celebrating with the people of the whole country, which is obviously of great significance. In addition to the championship itself, we have beaten Germany and Spain in the semi-finals and finals. This is crucial to us in terms of team morale and future confidence."

"We always have ambitions, and this team makes us dare to dream. As I often say, the key is the ability to unite every time we face new challenges. If you ask whether you have reached the peak, I will say it is still far from it. This event is just a step toward the peak."

"The goal is of course the World Cup, and we also have strength. No one will ignore the team's personal talent and collective strength. The key is how to play the team's most efficient way."
