Leaving the field, Berrío expressed immense satisfaction with the goal, dedicating it to his family. "I'm very happy, very pleased to be able to wear this jersey today, which means so much, for this crowd that always supports us. I'm grateful to God for scoring," said the number 28. "I also thank my wife and daughter, who are in Colombia and are greatly missed. Everything I do on the field is for them," he added.
The striker then thanked the nation for its support. "It's spectacular. Playing for this crowd is incredibly motivating, and because of that, I have a huge responsibility. That's why I go out on the field giving it my all. I want to give back," he concluded.
