(Great draw) “The result was satisfactory; earning a point at Camp Nou is something to be pleased about.  Playing face to face with them is suicide, we had to reinforce our defence and look for counter attacks.  We were aware that territorial dominance would belong to Barcelona, but everything went as planned, thanks to the strength of the players”.

(Absences on both teams) “I’m focusing on Málaga’s absences.  The players in action today performed excellently.  The casualties we have at the moment play at a high level in the First Division, but it’s also important that we play with four reserve team footballers”.

(Team and Kameni) “On the whole, the team did a wonderful job, not just Kameni, but also the defenders, midfielders and Sandro alone upfront, who made a massive effort.  The work we did was very good, and Kameni was superb.”

(Homegrown players) “The match should be analysed collectively, we certainly played with personality.  Ontiveros, with many minutes and at the same level as the team, worked well in defence; and Luis substituted Llorente perfectly, you didn’t notice the change”.
