Victory for Málaga CF at the Heliodoro Rodríguez López on LaLiga SmartBank matchday 40. Three points to give the Blue and Whites a big step towards mathematically securing their place in the division. “We’re taking each match at a time, the moment you relax, that’s when things go wrong. They are three important points, but it’s not over yet. There are two games left so we must continue on,” he stated.

The team put on a great performance, which the coach is very clear about: “It's all about the players, I'm clear about that. We tell them what to do but they are the ones who do it. I think the players went all out today, they played a great game in all aspects, and luckily, we got the three points,” he commented.

Finally, he remained cautious about the team’s place in the standings: “These three points add up. We were two away, now we’re five, but we must carry on. Until the numbers confirm it, we can’t celebrate, we need to keep our feet on the ground. This is a very competitive league, it doesn’t give you a break. You can’t relax,” he concluded.
