Jordán: “Messi was not expelled the other day … Fernando was expelled today”

Joan Jordán analyzed the fall suffered in the Cup against Barcelona: “It is difficult, we were very excited about this competition. We did very good things this year and we deserved this award. It couldn't be, I'm hurt. We feel very bad about our people, I'm sure he was even more eager than us to be in the final. “

The central midfielder was very clear in his summary of what happened on the pitch, especially in his vision of the decisions of the match referee: “I think we had the game on penalty, he wouldn't have gotten us three for a joke. Then they score us 2-0, before they kick Fernando out. I respect the referee a lot, but Mingueza's second card doesn't come out … The other day they don't teach Leo the second and they do teach Fernando today … But we are a clubI've learned that we don't give up There are situations that should not have occurred, we are going to get up because there is a lot ahead of us. “

Rakitic: “Nobody is clear about the regulation”

Ivan Rakitic also tried to explain his feelings after the elimination: “We are very angry right now, starting with ourselves. We were very excited to play the final. We have fought to the end, now we have to regain strength to keep going in La Liga. “

Asked by the referee, it was clear: “It is complicated, but if there are so many cameras and so many help, it is difficult to explain those decisions. That has marked the game and the pass to the final. We find no explanation nobody is clear about the regulation. Especially when those decisions are repeated against in the same game. “

Words for the fans: “We apologize, they had the same illusion as us. Playing a final in our city would have been incredible, we wanted to give it to our people. We have fought for it, but we will never give up. We are going to get up even stronger to give a lot of joys and forget this. “
