Match assessment

Bad result

“It does not matter who plays, they have a great squad. Today was not our day. It depended on us and things did not come off.”

Keep working

Message to the fans

“We are sorry. It was a day in which things did not come off. We have to keep rowing and we go for it at San Mamés.”

Another match as centre-back
