…ROTATIONS

We have to take advantage of these games to get into a good rhythm, tomorrow those who rested will play against Granada. We need to continue with this motivation. The objective is to arrive with the entire squad at its best. Players like Courtois and Militao need to pick up the pace. In the week before the final, we will make the necessary decisions.

…BELLINGHAM

We are not thinking about the top scorer. We think that Bellingham has already achieved the goal, its season is outstanding, we are not going to ask more of it in its first year here. No one expected it.

…INJURY REPORT

Militao is not ready to start, he lacks minutes, but he is progressing well. Hopefully he will be fine for the final. Tchouameni does not have many options, but he is not ruled out for the final. His foot doesn't hurt much. It's different from the last problem he had before. It is very important, after the game against Alavés, I will rest for three days. Then we will have two weeks to prepare for the final. It has been a very demanding season.

…GOALKEEPER

We are evaluating the goal. Lunin can also play, so we will give Kepa a chance. It won't be easy because there are few games left. I think like you do. Lunin has had a fantastic season and Courtois is the best goalkeeper in the world when he is at the best level.

…AWAY MATCH

It is never easy to play at the Bernabéu. He is the League champion, he is in the Champions League final. Lately he has been playing with the second unit, but this game I think they are going to play with the starters. In any case, those who play are very good and we must play our game and finish the year in the best possible way.

…ABOUT THE SEASON

The virtual salvation was achieved against Celta, that was already there, but from then on the team's two games against Valencia and Girona with the salvation made are incredible. We must continue like this and compete. It is not going to be easy, since tomorrow we have a very difficult match. We deserve to finish happy and compete in every game.

…RIOJA

The players must vindicate themselves. Luis Rioja's goal was everywhere because of the great goal he scored and he only played five minutes. Let's hope that no misfortune happens in terms of injuries.

…ROTATION

I already said that there were four games and there will be moments for everyone. Jesús Owono is going to play the remaining games. We are going to make changes, since there is a significant risk of injury and we are going to change quite a few. Some will repeat, but we have to change. We are at a point in the season when we must minimise the risk of injury, it is a matter of not taking risks with anyone. At least five new ones are going to enter.
