In an interview given to PSG TVBeraldo also returned to his penalty scored during the penalty shootout against Arsenal in the Champions League final. Entering the game, the Brazilian defender immediately agreed to take responsibility, supported by the confidence of Luis Enrique and his own conviction.
“I saw it as an opportunity. If the coach put me on the pitch, it’s because he trusts me. And not only that. I have confidence in myself, I am capable of giving the best of myself and being good enough. So, at that moment, I took the ball and I think I wasn’t afraid, I didn’t feel anything. I think it was the confidence to be able to be there, to be able to enjoy this moment, because I knew it was a Champions League final. It was a penalty, a very important moment, and I was very happy to be able to be there. So I managed to take full advantage of it, because I said to myself: “I’m going to do my best. »Whether the goalkeeper saves the penalty or not is another story. It’s also a credit to the goalkeeper. But by giving my best, I think I have a much better chance of scoring than if I stay scared, if I withdraw into myself. So I managed to feel very good at that moment and enjoy it in a unique way. »
