He told Marca.com: "In all honesty, yes, I'd hoped to come second. I'm delighted to be here alongside two footballing greats. I hope to come back and for my team to keep winning.

"I don't want to be better than anyone else; I just want to better myself. Now I have to work a little bit more to be amongst the three finalists again."
