The Catalan, who started in the match, highlighted the willingness the side had during the first match back

Joan Jordán has returned in style. He started in El Gran Derbi, and celebrated the win at full time: "It's been three months since the team competed and they've been hard months at home, training without knowing if it made any sense, but with our minds on this match. I was keen for the match to come around and the response was fantastic. Without friendlies, we've responded very well, we're very satisfied and we were at a good level".

There were months of uncertainty, but the focus was well fixed: "When I was home I knew I was feeeling very good. It's not the same as being on the pitch, but I knew we would go into it well. There were doubts, but once we trained as a group and you see how people feel, you can see that we were ready".

There was no fans present, but the teammates on the bench supported the team like never before: "If only all our fans could be there supporting us, but they were like our fans. They helped us at every moment and that support is noted a lot". Now, all focus on Levante: "We're ready for it, our work is based on playing every 72 hours. The squad has depth and we will recover well. Mentally we have to be ready and we need that because that will be even more important that the physical aspect".
