Statements by Oier Olazabal

"The way the pitch was, it was impossible to play well. We have adapted to what we had. It is true that we have not had many chances, neither have they. There have been two penalties that I consider dubious, but I think that luck has been on our side and they are three very good points."

"We have been working on it this morning with Nico and Dani Ortiz, the goalkeeping coach. [The penalty taker] had quite a few penalties to analyse and the options were either through the middle or the right. I had to try to hold on as much as possible and get my foot out and what we had worked on has happened."

"It is a tactical issue. We spoke with Ferran, he told us that we were different and that we would adapt depending on the match. It depends on the opponent and what the manager expects from the match."

"Nico and I are there, and then there's Charly, who plays for the reserve team, but I'm much more involved, they trust me and I'm able to help the team, which always feels good."

"It looks good, but anything could have happened today. We have to be humble like we are, we have to improve things and at home we have to be even better. There's still a long way to go."
