Quique: “This Madrid is more energetic”

Sensation: “We haven’t matched the intensity of Madrid. Today he opted for youth, a lot of travel, a lot of recovery. With the entry of Lucas, Valverde, Camavinga… It has been one of his virtues”

Match analysis: “In the first half we had a lot of difficulty. We didn’t have an easy time recovering and progressing quickly. We didn’t have it, partly because of the freshness of the Real Madrid players. It led us to play a defensive game. We had imagined a game with more chances, four or five like Ünal at the end, but it wasn’t possible”.

Role of Gonzalo Villar: “When he comes out we always expect him to play, it’s what he knows how to do, make us play better. The difficulty has also bothered Gonzalo, we haven’t been lucky. In the second half we found more connection with Óscar and I wish we had had more players like that”.

Changes: “We acted late. We were thinking of making a double substitution with Djené and Cuenca and we took too long. From 2-0 on we were thinking about the next game and what might happen with three defenders ready”.

Improvement of Madrid: “Madrid is more energetic than in the first round and Getafe is less dynamic. With players coming off injuries. Arambarri, Maksimovic, Ünal… They have lost momentum and that is fundamental for us”.

Surprise with Valverde and Camavinga: “We knew that either Kroos or Modric were not going to play and that there was a possibility that Valverde and Camavinga would play. They have a great display. We never thought that their appearance would take away football from the team and we did give them more energy. Extraordinary Madrid with young people with a lot of future”.
