GOALKEEPERS' UNION
Fellow Spanish goalkeeper Rodrigo Corrales has spoken about the bond the pair have developed from their time playing together on the national team and for Spanish team FC Barcelona Handbol. "We are united by something that is difficult to occur with other goalkeeper pairs, which is a joint adolescence. We have been educated together at school, we have lived together in the same residence, then in an apartment. We have shared a lot of things and in the end it is evident that each of us likes to have our moment in the leading role, but that does not mean, regardless of the ego that each one of us may have, that we feel something special for the other. I have tremendous joy when things turn out well for him. And besides, he is a player that I always want in my team because he is going to help us win," said Corrales.

RIO REDEMPTION
In 2020 he spoke about the relief of qualifying for the 2020 Olympic Games in Tokyo after the national team failed to qualify for the previous edition of the Games in Rio de Janeiro in 2016. "The Olympic Games are the best competition and this generation deserved it after the disappointment of 2016. We have had a fantastic Olympic cycle. It has been a big relief."
