Adriano: “We always believed that we'd have our chance in La Liga”

The Brazilian defender said that he’s “at his best” and that the team must win their remaining matches to keep their title hopes alive.

Adriano also had words of praise for his teammate Martín Montoya, who came on for Dani Alves in the match against Zaragoza: “I’ve always really liked Montoya, ever since he did his first preseason with the team.
