“We have ahead of us, in a very short space of time, very difficult games against Atletico Madrid, Barcelona and Deportivo.
“One defeat can complicate things, although the gap is comfortable.”
“It was a difficult match.
“We did not start well, we made a lot of individual and collective errors.
“Celta took advantage of them well but in the second half everything changed.
“The team were much more compact and disciplined. We created opportunities and scored the goals we needed.”
