Speaking after the draw, the Spaniard saw lots of positives from his team’s performance, especially considering the context of the run of defeats they’ve had recently.
“I think the reaction of the team was really good after the last performance. I think we showed again that if we want to fight, if we play together, we are a really good team,” Cucurella said in quotes picked up by the club’s official website.

“We have a massive game next week. We need to take the positive from Saturday and prepare good for the game and arrive in the best condition.”
