Julen Lopetegui appeared in The ceramic to analyze the game and assess the tie scratched at the last minute. “We have achieved a point in a very complicated field, very difficult, against a rival that we have seen that has dominated powerful teams in the Champions League. It has been very difficult. In phases they have surpassed us, especially in the first part, from the 25th minute onwards, they have leveled off quite a bit. In the second half they had a goal disallowed and I don’t remember very clear scoring situations, but We had the best chance with Rafa’s heads-up, with 0-0, we have not achieved it, football has that maxim, and in the following action they have marked us. The team has had character and faith, being able to fight until the end. One point less to achieve the goal, the most difficult remains, but one point less. We must give value to the classification of The league Spanish”, summed up the coach.
“You can’t tell the team that they don’t have faith, that they don’t have character, that they don’t work. There are moments where she was able to do things better and she has achieved a point that we have worked on. The most difficult remains and with 24 hours less than Mallorcawe have a very difficult game and we have to recover well”, added the Basque.

arbitration
“I don’t have a very clear opinion. I have the impression that he has been correct in every way, he has let play, he does not call a foul at the slightest circumstance, he is not the one who draws fouls. There is a disallowed goal that is evident and I do not see no other important issues.”
drawing change
