"The season isn't over. It's tough for everyone but we have the challenge of returning to Europe. Now the league leaders are coming. We've seen their excellent form; it will be tough, but there's no time for regrets. We have to lift our heads, gather our energy and keep going."
"These are things that happen. I'm not happy, I already said it after the [Atleti] game. We have to talk about what we can improve. That's always my responsibility, not the medical staff nor the physiotherapists, it is my responsibility. I worry about this. I want to talk to the doctors, the physiotherapists, technical staff, see what we can improve."
