…INJURY REPORT

We recovered everyone except Ristic who did not arrive and Aidoo, obviously. We're all going to go to the hotel and tomorrow we'll decide who stays. People have recovered well and we must have the most competitive eleven possible. You know that I do not usually repeat the lineups and I do consider that it is necessary to repeat this week. Yes, I see people who are doing well, but we will try to get the eleven that are best and think that they can hurt the rival who is different from the rest that we face.

…OPPONENT

They are professional players and things are still at stake. They have had a brutal season, one of the best in recent years, winning a title and fighting for Champions League positions until the end. It's a great team, whoever plays, they have plenty of resources to hurt any team, they have already shown it. It's going to be a very complicated game.

…IAGO ASPAS

I can't say anything about the lineup because it is far away. We want to wait for today to pass, get together tomorrow and decide at the hotel. We will look for the most competitive possible. The goal is for eleven to come out in perfect condition, if it is with Aspas better. There are blows, people who recover faster and less. There will probably be more to modify, but I have no idea right now.

…CHAMPIONS LEAGUE

It's time to look up. Right now we can be mathematically fourth, fifth or sixth. The accounts are clear and as long as we have possibilities we will have to go for it. It doesn't depend on us, but it's what we have to do against a rival like this. If we can't be fourth, let's go for the two points to secure fifth place.

…OPPONENT

We are playing with a rival that is playing for relegation, and there will be a lot of atmosphere on the field. I see it very well at home, they are getting good results and I see it playing well. They have changed the style and way of playing. They have a more offensive point.

…ABOUT THE SEASON

I always give us a ten, because we give everything. We can be wrong sometimes and right other times, but that's what football is all about. Give everything in each game to achieve the objectives. You do it more colourfully like now, but the effort is the same as other years. We would sign one like that next season.

…INJURY REPORT

Sancet does not arrive, and Galarreta did half of the training yesterday and today he may do it all. We have to evaluate later. Depending on how everyone is, there are some with discomfort due to the heights of the season in which we are. Guruzeta is ruled out that he has minutes for the rest. That's what the doctor tells us and I'm not going to contradict him.
