Sevilla FC's captain, Jesús Navas, spoke to the media after the draw away at CFR Cluj: "It was a complicated game, with a lot of second balls etc. It was difficult to play. These second balls, you have to make them yours. In the second half, they scored through a penalty. At the end they got a bit tired and we were able to find the equaliser". Navas spoke about the team's patience in finding the equaliser: "We eventually found our moment. They were very intense and at the end they got tired and we got stronger. We could have scored a second".

The captain spoke about the importance of scoring away from the Ramón Sánchez-Pizjuán: "It was very even, and at the end we could have got a second. Scoring away from home is so important, now we've the home game where we have to finish it off". The right-back underlined the solidity shown by the team: "It was a mentally tough game and the team did well. They scored from the penalty spot, but we kept going and could have got a second". For Navas, the state of the pitch didn't allow the team to play their normal game: "It was all about not making mistakes, and winning the second balls. The team were strong, they stood up and were patient until the end when the chances came".

He also spoke about the unity within the squad: "The team has confidence. We would have got the second if we were slightly more patient, but we keep moving forward".
