Midfielder Atletico Gabi admits that he got excited with the phrase "playing in the Europa League is shit".

After a draw with Garabag (1-1) in the 4th round of the group stage, the Champions League commented on the possible flight in the LE: "To play in the Europa League is shit".

As a result, Atletico flew to the Europa League and won it.

"My words about" shit "? Now I have to swallow them. That was a very difficult moment for the whole team, "Gaby said..

In the final of the Europa League against Marseille (Atletico 3-0 victory), Gaby scored a goal. Thus, he became the oldest in the last 13 years by the author of the goal in the finals of the European Cups - 34 years and 310 days.

Gaby will have to wait two more years to beat Milan's defender Paolo Maldini, who in 2005 scored Liverpool in the Champions League final in 36 years.
