Too much punishment. “We have played 15 wonderful games, a record in the history of the club, it was a very nice path that benefited us in the League, Cup and Champions League. Today the team was able to get closer to the goal in the final stretch of the game, they also had danger, the game They were in search of being able to win it. After the goal they defended better and we lost height with the loss of Sorloth, that's why we put Niño in, but Leganés was very good defensively. I congratulate my players. and the feeling that we did a lot of important things, but that the small details were against us this time.
Failure of occasions. “You always look for the possibility of converting and then the forcefulness that was very good in this game today was not so successful.”
Many mistakes before the goal. “The team generated enough to have a better score in the first half, then they worked very hard in the second. We had the penalty, the opponent did very well and we had to lose. Now we have to face one of the best in Europe” .
Deserving. “In the second half nothing happened until what happens in a corner happened, they did well and congratulated their rival. From there they added strength and energy to defend better and go on the counterattack, the game happened like that, it was a compact rival and he didn't give us options. There we lacked Sorloth's height to generate vertigo.”
-Prepared for defeat. “When you get used to winning, it's harder to lose because it's very nice. Obviously it hurts to lose, but it's part of the journey and you have to accept it.”
Title fight. “The year we won the League we lost to Levante and the other year to Almería. You can win and lose with anyone. Barcelona lost five and they play the best, they probably shouldn't have lost any of the five.”
