“Barcelona played very well, we played from the heart, but we were efficient in our game. The results are good, but today we can learn a lot from this match – the small details are obvious and punishable. We have to keep improving,” he said.
“Today we were lucky, because in the previous matches we were not effective. A good goalkeeper is not just luck; there are things that are difficult to explain, but the players do everything they can to increase the chances of winning.”
“We knew we would have to play with a low block sometimes, but we wanted to play boldly. When we needed stability, we changed the structure.”
“Honestly, I didn’t see what happened up close, so I can’t really judge.”
“The players believe they can win and it’s important to reset and move on. Even after scoring a goal, they want to do more – it’s impressive.”
“There is no confirmation yet, but he has a muscle injury. Kubo is very important for us not only in attack, but also in defense. We don’t know how long he will be out.”
After this win, Real Sociedad remain unbeaten under Matarazzo. It will be recalled that the new coach headed the club in December 2025.
