The Brazilian started the win in Athens against AEK, but admits he is still in a lot of pain after the serious injury he suffered in April.
Éder Militão returned to the starting XI and played the full 90 minutes in the win for Real Madrid away to AEK in Athens. It was his first complete match since the serious injury he suffered in April, after six months out, according to Mundo Deportivo.
Speaking on Real Madrid TV, he said he feels very good, although with plenty of pain, and that he is happy to be doing again what he loves most. About the game he highlighted the hard-earned goals, a team spirit that never gave up after going behind, and the coach's squad management, with Endrick and Valverde on the pitch. Valverde, who scored from long range, also played his part.
On Vinicius, Militão defended him to TNT: he works every day without stopping even though the goals are not coming, and he believes that at the right moment he will shake off this bad patch and shine again.
