- Alves :“Given the circumstances of the game we go away feeling content,”. “As a team they (RK) have played very well defensively. They had a line of five behind a line of four. We could not find much space and that cost us. We should have read the game better.”

- Villa “They defend very well and they closed up the space very well,”. “It was very hard for us to penetrate between the two back lines. Then the penalty made things even more complicated for us. If we had taken one of our early chances then things would have been different.”

- Iniesta on Facebook: "Coming home without being able to get three points but we had chances to finish. Thinking of the league plays on Sunday, Mallorca awaits us!"
