“That Barcelona has dominated the game, I don’t agree. The match was even. They have used more possession, we have used more once morest it. But I think we deserved to win the first half, we conceded due to bad luck. The second part was much more even. But dominate? It does not seem to me that neither Real Madrid has dominated Barcelona nor has Barcelona dominated Real Madrid. The fact that we got off a bit was to enjoy the counter, which was very effective. We have found quality plays, very high quality. The 3 goals we have scored are 3 spectacular goals. Even match ”.

“Pressing up costs us more, due to the characteristics of the means we have. But it is good for us, it is good for us. The low block is not very aesthetic, but the quality that we have in front, to try a fast attack is too important for us not to enjoy it ”.
