Pellegrini’s statements
 
“It’s difficult to analyse a match like this, where there’s been a move so momentous as the expulsion of a goalkeeper, and a pretty unfortunate first goal, it was an own goal; the second also on the rebound, and from then on the game was pretty much done and dusted; then the third goal came to sentence Levante to win the match.” 

“First the expulsion and the ensuing goal that put up 2 to 0 on the scoreboard is a big advantage for a team that’s on a roll, for who everything is working out – getting the points on their on merits and also with some luck. We had the misfortune of getting some own goals and giving away chances that Levante took advantage of, and they’re the justified winners.”
 
“We go from game to game analysing, evaluating and trying to improve.  It has been an unusual game, strange, but we must move on and go for the points in the next match.”
