Real Madrid shot stopper Diego Lopez insist’s he is in the best form of his career following another start in Madrid’s 5-1 thrashing of Real Sociedad.
The Spaniard has impressed massively this season, a number of eye-catching performances have helped cement his position as Los Blancos number 1 goal keeper.
Lopez said: “It’s the best moment of my career and I had never before brought out the potential that I have now. I was playing very well at Villarreal, but in this team I’m improving every day. I’ve found it really difficult at times but now I’m showing self-possession.”
When asked about his working relationship with Iker Casillas, the 32-year-old spoke clearly on the two’s situation.
“I’ve known Iker since I was 18, for about 14 years, and I’ve always had a good relationship with him.” claimed Lopez.
“It’s wonderful to compete in this team with a keeper like Iker. We’re both after the spot and we both give everything we have to play.”
He has now started all 13 League games for the whites, but feel’s the competition he faces will only make it tougher for him in the future.
“I’m going to struggle to continue being the opening goalkeeper in La Liga, I’ll support my teammate when the manager decides that he’s going to play. I dedicate myself to my work and to fighting for a position in the line-up. It’s only logical that I’m not going to make it easier.”
