After this Friday’s match against Getafe CF, José María Giménez and Lucas Hernández addressed the media and assessed the fixture and the shape the team is in a week away from LaLiga.

“We played a great first half, we had better chances and more ball possession. In the second half, they went more to the top, but we could defend well," the Uruguayan said. He also noted: “We have had a very good and demanding pre-season. The beginning of the season is almost here and we try to adapt our football to what we are looking for regarding the championship."

Lucas, the French defender assured: "We have been picking up the pace little by little. Now, we still have a week to begin the season and we have to continue working."
