Statements by Pellegrini

"The team played fantastic football against a big rival, who never let their guard down.  They also had several chances to score throughout the match.  This result in La Rosaleda was definitely well-deserved, as the team was completely focused on the game for the entire 90 minutes.”
 
“One of our main objectives is not to give one competition priority over another.  The team is working well at the moment, and full of motivation to continue performing well and working hard, despite the few problems we had, which is the best way forward.”
 
“It’s been a really wonderful day, though I never like to compare matches.  La Rosaleda played host to this fantastic performance by the team.”

“Isco has a very bright future.  He’s only just starting his career, so who knows what he’ll achieve in the future.  The most important thing now is that he’s part of Málaga.”
