"We're disappointed, but also proud of what we saw. It was an incredible match; we created so many chances. But ultimately, it didn't happen. After the two defeats we suffered, we had a long talk with the team in the locker room. I think the team has bounced back."
"Everyone was fantastic, Bernal was impressive, and Cubarsó's performance was that of one of the best centre-backs in the world. This is the attitude I want from the players. It was an amazing match."
"Step by step. There's a long road ahead. In La Liga and the Champions League. We have to focus on what's next, which is Bilbao and Newcastle, two very strong teams. I can say that I'm proud of my players."
