Julen Lopetegui, Sevilla coach, valued the victory against Barcelona in the first leg of the semifinals Cup: “The team played a very good game against a great team like Barcelona, which is in a great moment. We played well, we defended well even if they had a chance, too we could score some more goals. It was a beautiful victory against an extraordinary rival and the most difficult thing remains for us, which is to play in Barcelona. We are aware of how difficult the return will be. “
“We are in the break of a 180-minute tie, there are many things to do before going to Barcelona but we know the complicated task that we are going to have there “, he added.
He also spoke of the weekend: “We have many casualties, a lot of footballers who are not there but those who are there are contributing and that is the important thing. The most complex game of the week is coming, Huesca has won in Valladolid and made merits against Madrid, they are growing and it will be complicated “.
