Match analysis

“The team came out with the idea of knowing who was in front, but the goal in minute 45 of the first half (2-0) was important and marked half-time. In the end, if you analyse it, without taking anything away from the rival for whom I wish the best as they’re a great side, the four goals were due to our mistakes”.

A different Málaga from the first matchday

“This Málaga is completely different. That team three weeks earlier was competing in the Second Division and with 10 entirely different players. However, we shouldn’t detract from the work done in the first stage in Málaga”.

New Cup format

“I liked the fact that Málaga played in the Copa de la Reina and I applaud the format because the players were really excited about this game today. For my part, and that of Málaga, I’m delighted with this format for my players. Even with the 4-2 result, this new format gave Málaga some very good sensations at a tough ground and against one of the best teams in the league”.
