Julen Lopetegui, Sevilla coach, appreciated what happened in the clash against Barcelona that led to the elimination of his team in the Copa del Rey: “It was a match in which we experienced the most cruel part of football. We arrived with one less and they should have had one less too. It's a shame. A lot of things happened to us, we were injured, we conceded a goal on the first shot … We didn't break down and we had the options to qualify. It was not like that and we are disappointed. “
The Sevilla coach did not want to pronounce too much on the referee's performance: “Little more can be said, if you talk a lot you already know what happens to you. I think that Mingueza's action was not right, it was a clear chance of scoring. He has not seen it that way …”.
