Moriba: "We have to win the two remaining games, for pride and for the fans"
Ilaix Moriba looked back at the performance by Valencia CF against Real Betis at Mestalla. The Guinean midfielder highlighted the team's great effort, despite the defeat.
A tough defeat
I think that we were excessively punished. We fought and we gave everything. We ended the match with a clear conscience. We have to accept the defeat.
A key move
Their goal came from my mistake. I accept it and apologise. Then we continued well, until they scored the second.

A possible foul before the first goal
I think it's a foul, but I don't know what VAR is for. I have to see it because maybe it's not a foul. However, the game is over and we have to analyse our mistakes.
Sad for the fans
The fans are dealing with a lot and I'm very sad for them. I am not one to tell people what they should put up with and what not, but we try to do the best we can.
Playing for pride
We have to win the two remaining games, for pride and for the fans.
