Higuain: "No one was selfish; we played as a team"

Gonzalo Higuain scored his first hat-trick since returning from injury and the striker could not have been more pleased with his performace.

"I gained a lot of confidence today. I am very happy; a little tired, but that's normal. There is no better way to return home than with a lot of goals. The hard work and wait were worth it. Now it's time to have fun because helping the team and accomplishing our goals are that count."

"No one was selfish. We played as a team. Now it is time to rest ahead of Wednesday's match, but today we proved that we are in great shape heading into the final stage of the season."

"Mourinho has a variety of possibilities with the players he has to choose from, and everyone is in good form."
