"What happened when it became known that the final would be against Chile? I immediately said that any decision not to play would be stupid and reckless, that politics could not stop sport and that thirty years later no one would remember Chile and Pinochet, but only the victory. And letting another team's name be on the Cup because we refused to go there was irresponsible."
