00:00No, let's see, it's clear that when we scored 2-0, the game was in an important place.

00:08I think I was late, I didn't have time for their goal and I was late to score against Jiménez.

00:15I should have scored against Jiménez before they took him out of the middle.

00:19But well, they took him out of the middle and the goal came, we started talking and the second goal came.

00:25It doesn't mean that if Jiménez had come in, we could have solved it better.

00:31It was worse.

00:32But the reality is that the team needed strength at the end of the game.

00:38Because it was evident that Barcelona, with their weapons and the number of great footballers they have,

00:44was going to opt to play everything or nothing.

00:47They did very well, congratulations.

00:49And we couldn't be strong or respond by counter-attacking, taking advantage of the situation we had.
