Diego Pablo Simeone appeared in the press room of La Rosaleda at the end of the match. The Argentinian analysed the match: "A very well played game by Málaga. It played a very intense and hard-worked match and played very well. We must congratulate the rival." 

Regarding the red and white scoring opportunities, our coach said that "in the first half we had two or three very important situations, but we could not finish the efforts. Only one from Carrasco gave us the possibility to make a good pass. We were not accurate in that aspect of the game."
