Another win and victory, what is your assessment of the match?
“The most important thing is the three points, it is not easy to win away from home in this competition, the Champions League is complicated. I am very happy, I really value what we are doing. We have been very good with the ball and we have pressed a lot.”
Iñigo said that they have been focused the entire game.
“I agree. Red Star has played very well, they knew how to play with the ball and it is difficult to defend them. I really value being focused for 90 minutes because it is not easy at all.”
How is Cubarsi?
”Cubarsí is fine, they have given him points, but he is young. When you get older it’s not good, but now it is.”
