“We won the league this season because there is no ego here. Vinicius, no ego. Bellingham, no ego. Rodrygo, no ego. And the senior players are like that too. Toni Kroos, Dani Carvajal, Nacho, Luka Modric.

“I don’t know what happens in the future but there is no jealousy between the young ones now. Humility is important. You must have that.”
