At midnight on August 6, in the Olympic men’s football semi-final, Spain defeated Morocco 2-1 to advance to the final. Spanish player Sánchez scored the go-ahead goal in the 85th minute, helping Spain reach the final. Sánchez gave an interview to Marca after the game.
Sánchez said, “After scoring, I didn’t think about anything, but then I did think about my family, my girlfriend, the tough times I’ve had this year… This moment is a dream come true for me. Hopefully, when I get into the locker room, I’ll see what my teammates have prepared for my goal. I think I won’t have to pay for dinner anymore.”
Regarding the atmosphere in the stadium, which was mostly filled with Moroccan fans, Sánchez said, “Fortunately, those of us who play in Seville know what it feels like to play in a hostile environment most of the time. We athletes enjoy this type of match, even more so if you manage to score.”
Finally, Sánchez mentioned tattoos, saying, “If I got a tattoo, my mom wouldn’t let me in the house. We all want to win the gold medal, and we’re ready no matter who our opponent is.”
