Julen Lopetegui highlighted the good work of his players in another home victory against a team that was coming into the game in good form. "They are one of the most in-form teams in La Liga, coming into the match without a defeat in five games and it is very difficult to create chances. Also, they can cause you damage and expose you. We managed the game well and we had the quality to score the goal in the first half. In the second half perhaps, we were not calm enough to score the second but we did a good job and I am satisfied, with the only blemish the Jules injury which I hope won't be serious." 

The Frenchman had to come off after a bad fall. "He had a bad blow and at half-time he told us that he couldn't continue. We don't know exactly what he has." And now he looks ahead to Saturday. "We need to rest a bit and prepare for the next game. The draw has got what it wanted and we all know what it means. We will now recover and work this week."
