Lopetegui: “The arbitration? If you speak you already know what happens to you”

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 …”.

It also influenced the harshness of the elimination for its players: “The locker room is dejected, today it's time to swallow poison and have a bad night. Aleix Vidal? He felt a puncture in the ischium and we will see in the next few days.”
