"The most worrying thing at this time is that after three matches in which we were incapable of victory, the next rival comes along and scores a goal like they did tonight.  These are not concessions we can give at present, as from then on the game became much more difficult.  We were much more anxious to score, and even though it was a fairly balanced game, if we hadn’t conceded a goal so early I think the match could have gone another way.”

“Positive feelings in previous games have allowed us to gain minimum points against teams competing in the Champions League, and against Eibar, who have had a good run of results.  Without detracting from the work of Getafe, who did what was necessary to win, we shouldn’t have lost tonight.”
