I hope I can repeat that feeling in the Euros and achieve something big with Spain. It was an incredible and unforgettable moment. I think I played one of the best games of my life against Milan. On top of that, I was lucky enough to score such an important goal for us.

At least he's willing to admit luck played a factor in it. Check out the interview here.
