'A fantastic moment of joy'

Spain are celebrating becoming the first team to retain the UEFA European Futsal Championship, making it four continental titles in six competitions with a 3-1 win against Italy. Captain Javi Rodríguez lifted the trophy after scoring for the first time in three personal European final triumphs, while Marcelo struck the opening goal from which Spain never looked back and Álvaro was Carlsberg Man of the Match after a stunning performance. uefa.com spoke to all three as well as Italy's Adriano Foglia.

Javi Rodríguez, Spain captain
[Lifting the trophy] was a fantastic moment of joy. It has been a difficult tournament. We had to beat the best team in the tournament prior to the final. Italy had only conceded one goal before today. But in the final, we only saw one colour, which was the red of Spain. We played five matches and they were five finals. We had to go step by step. We were only thinking about the next game and I think we fully deserved this title. We are never bored of winning. We always want to be in the final, and we have to carry on working for that.

Marcelo, opening goalscorer
It was an amazing feeling [to win]. Maybe even more because it has not been easy. The other teams have improved. It's been difficult from the beginning until the end. I want to congratulate Italy for their performance, but we managed to score more goals than them and that made the difference. I'm really happy I could share this moment with my son. He is my energy and I dedicate this victory to him. He has already started playing and will surely become a great player.

Álvaro, Carlsberg Man of the Match
I'm not used to receiving these type of rewards. I'm very happy with my game, but I would have never achieved anything without my team-mates. This was my second European finals. The first one was in Italy and things did not go as we wanted. It feels good to win my first title, even more so because we played Italy in the final.
