Javier Aguirre: “It is a very value triumph”

The boss reflected on our 1-0 win against Atletico Madrid  

Javier Aguirre spoke to the media in his post-match press conference about our 1-0 win against Atletico Madrid. Muriqi’s goal was the difference as our final league game of 2022 ended with three points. Find out what the boss had to say below:

On the four games without losing

"The dressing room is very happy and so am I, of course. There are things to improve but taking into account the size of the opponents, they are valuable victories. Valencia, Villarreal and Atlético de Madrid are European teams.”

On the match

"A very complicated match in which we didn't want to make any mistakes and the rival demanded a lot from us. In the end they didn't equalise as the goalkeeper made a spectacular save. We also had the 2-0, but, well, that’s football. Every win against teams like Atlético Madrid is welcome.”

On the fans

"The fans have been spectacular. They have supported us here all year. It's true that at home we lost to RCD Espanyol, Sevilla, Girona... because after games that we shouldn't have lost or tied – the loss to Betis too with two very strange penalties - we owed them one. I think that today they are going home happy and we will see you next year.”
