The first positive thing is that if you’re playing in a final, it means you’ve done something right. After that, I think we played at a higher level than I expected. We created chances to score goals, but in the end, that’s football. We conceded that incredible goal, but we have to congratulate the opponent and wait for another final.

Luis Enrique: “I think we played a good match.”

Did you expect your team to be tired from Wednesday’s match?

No, not tired, but at this point in the season, I saw a lot of positive things, especially in the first half, but also in the second half. I’ll repeat myself: I think we played a good match.

Is disappointment what stands out most for all the players?

That’s life, that’s football, you have to accept it. We have to congratulate the opponent, because they did everything to win this match, and we have to keep going.

Barcola and Mbaye in the stands, are they going to leave?

Good evening.
