Stating that they were the side that deserved to win the game, the Spanish star said, "We wanted to gift the win to our fans. We created many positions but the ball didn't go in. I think we were the deserving side of the match today."

"WE ALLOWED TOO MANY COUNTERS"

"We will have to adjust it and look at the videos because they really counter-attacked a lot. We probably should have interrupted their play earlier. We are a team that always wants to play and sometimes we leave a little bit of space, but overall I think we deserved the win. There is a very exciting tournament coming in March, an organization where we can win another trophy. The team is showing in every game that it can compete with anyone. We need to focus on our clubs and be ready for March."
