Celta coach Claudio Giráldez spoke in the press room after his team's elimination by Real Madrid in the Copa del Rey.
The possible penalty before the 1-0…
It was decisive. The decision of the referee and the VAR… it must be respected. I said I didn't want to talk about the referee anymore.

I'm proud that at 2-0 we didn't give up, we always believed in it. It's a united team, a team that wants it. We are building a powerful team that will be able to better face the first minutes in this type of scenario and matches. It's a shame that we failed several times in the last pass and then conceded these great goals from Endrick and Valverde.
Celta attacked after the 2-2, did you think you could pass?
I am always very positive. I could see myself going from the moment the match was drawn until we conceded 4-2. I think we didn't manage the match well after the 2-2, we had five or six minutes to push harder.
-Fan support at the Bernabéu
We have a lot of young players, they will improve, I am proud of them. I am also proud of the supporters, we have not stopped hearing from them. We were very close, this match allows us to see that the future of this team is very promising. Madrid are a fair winner in extra time.
Why is this penalty not subject to review?
I don't know, I spoke to my players, I believe what they say, that it was a penalty. But they talk between the referee and the VAR, they know more than me. All that remains is to accept it and that's it.
But you asked the referee why the VAR didn't intervene?
I am a young coach and I need to train myself, including VAR. In Primera RFEF, there was none, I don't understand it…
