We haven't won since 2016 and we want to win. It's normal to feel this way, but it's clear that it's normal to lose. You have to play the games, last year we were able to beat Barça there after a long time, why not? You have to have courage and take a lot of risks and even though these goals are late, they can make you score as many goals as last year.
Clubs like this, with these squads, are so used to playing so many games every week that it doesn't matter which game it is. What is clear is the potential they have and they will be nervous about any game they lose. But I don't think they will be angry about losing the Real Madrid match, because they have a great team with everyone playing and we have to be at our best to win the game, we have to make sure they don't have their best day.

Manager on BarcelonaReal Sociedad
This will be a tough test. Imanol Alguacil is doing a great job, producing good football from his players. As for us, we need to make higher demands on ourselves and continue to work modestly to minimize the four-point gap. And this game is the ideal scenario to show that we can do this. We always pursue perfection. FC Barcelona never settles for anything else.
El Clasico Defeat
We need to end our feelings on a difficult field. We are angry, we rage internally, but we can gradually summarize our mistakes. It's the little details that matter, we can't afford to have any more delays in their content.
Return of Pedri
We have a healthy, noble staff. I am happy with the work and willingness of all the players. We have players hungry to win. And Pedri's return is really good news for the team. He is a capital player for getting us to play the way we want to.
