“Many thanks to my family, to all those who support me and also to all those who believed in us. We showed once again that Argentines, when we fight together and united, are capable of achieving whatever we set our minds to.
“The merit belongs to this group, which is above the individualities, it is the strength of all fighting for the same dream that was also the dream of all Argentines… We did it!!!”
