The coach spoke about his team's effort "it is not physical nor emotional nor tactical, our work is daily and now we’re looking forward to playing in front of a full house against Celta. The answer is to believe in what you do. We have four or five days to recover and think about Celta".

True to his philosophy, the Atletico coach said "we do not stop to think about today’s result, it would be good and we know how to manage in that situation, huge congratulations for the response given by the team from the first to second half, now we will continue working and on Thursday we’ll focus on the league game. The players know that there is another game on Sunday."

Finally, he said "we have an extraordinary group. I'm no doctor but players were beaten and tired, it makes me feel good because it means they gave their best."
