Matarazzo said afterwards:  “The reception was truly amazing, I’ve never experienced anything like it. It felt like the whole stadium was out on the street.

"We walked the last 100 metres and I felt an energy I’ve never felt before. And the stadium was ablaze throughout the match. I’m happy we were able to give the fans a great final and we’re eager to celebrate with them in Seville.

“This is a great moment for me. For me and for everyone, for the club. We have to thank everyone who supported the team today. It's been incredible. I'm very happy with what we're doing. It's a great moment for everyone.”

The New Jersey native added, "First, we play Atlético this Saturday in LaLiga. We'll see what happens in that first match.

"Then we have several LaLiga games, and after that, we'll focus on the Cup. Right now, it's time to enjoy this moment.”
