Diego Pablo Simeone appeared in press conference after the fixture against Girona. The Argentinian coach analysed the match: "They were more definite than superior in the first half. In the second half, with the substitutions, the team began to win back the midfield and have more offensive dynamics that served to generate chances to score. I go away with positive feelings of how the match ended."

"Girona is a very definite team and knows at what they play. They demonstrated it in the first half. I take away our good things. The team continues keeping alive the desire to not give up and keep going until the end," he noted.
