SERGI GÓMEZ: 'IT WAS A REALLY TOUGH AND EVEN GAME'

For Sergi Gómez, this Sunday's game against Villarreal 'was a really tough match, they exploited gaps in our shape, but after that we quickly readjusted and it was very even. They had a couple of chances, Vaclik was great, we had chances as well but we just couldn't get the goal.'

Asked about Escudero's injury, he confirmed 'it wasn't a pretty sight and I hope he recovers as soon as possible because he is a very important player.'

Despite this, the defender believes, 'we can't stop, we have a game every three, four days and we have to keep going. Europa League on Thursday, the derby on Sunday, and a game like that motivates everyone.
