As for the stadium, host of the Super Bowl between the Philadelphia Eagles and New England Patriots in February, won 41-33 by the Eagles, Mauricio added: "It’s fantastic. I think it surprised me.
"We all watched the Super Bowl from the outside and it looked amazing but you can never see the reality through the TV camera. Now, being here, it’s one of the best and we’re so excited to play here."
