Footballer Joaquín solidified his role as a crucial player for Málaga CF in their recent triumph, taking leadership from the wing and expressing satisfaction with both the collective performance and his personal form.
Following David Larrubia's absence, Joaquín stepped into a prominent attacking role for Málaga CF, showcasing his versatility by playing on the right flank. The Málaga-born player emphasized the tough nature of the match but celebrated the team's ability to secure all three points once the scoring was opened.
“
"We knew it was a tough match against a team that is playing very well. I came out on the right, but with no problems. Once we managed to open the scoring, everything became easier, and we made sure the points wouldn't slip away. I think it's a different position for me, but I'm delighted to help wherever I can. It turned out spectacular."
The winger stressed the strength of the locker room, despite injuries affecting several teammates. For Joaquín, the collective effort was key to keeping the victory at home, reiterating his personal goal of winning with the club and the responsibility that comes with his position.

"I've always said that I came here to win, but I also know the responsibility that comes with playing here and being the team's winger. Things are going well for me individually, although the important thing is that the group adds up, but I'm going home happy."
Regarding his physical condition, Joaquín stated that he is in his best moment, having gained significant muscle mass, and expressed his desire to maintain this level until the end of the season, anticipating a decisive stretch. He also recounted the play that led to his goal, a result of an individual action practiced in training, and thanked the fans for their support, highlighting his personal connection to the city of Málaga.
