Player interviews.

Culebras:" This is football. The referee was heavy handed in his calling of the tackle and sent me off. I tried to go around the player and perhaps touched him. He threw hinself on the floor. Maybe you could call penalty but not a red card. I am really hurt by the red card especially for the damage it did the team. No one should have this much bad luck. But we need to go on and win against Real Madrid"

Richi: “We always go out to try and win and more right now in the position we are in. Today we couldn't fight for the three points as everything was very complicated. The 4-1 leaves a bad image but if you analise the game the 2-0 after the penalty..... The circumstances were diffiuclt. With only ten players and attacking it leaves spaces behind. The team is fighting and we are going to give our all in every round.”

Sicilia: “I don't know if it was a penalty or not. I haven't talked to Culebras about the play. The start of the game left us damaged. We always go out to play our best but it doesn't always work out. Now we have a big game against Real Madrid and we need to join together to make something form this round."

Bertrán: “That one play marked the game. We were 10 men and 1-0 down from that moment they were superior to us. I don't know if it was a penalty. We know how much it costs us to make goals and with this president after a normal start you are left feeling down. Now we play Madrid and that will be a great week.”

Mikel: “Our rival was better than us. They did us grave damageAgain and again the resulats away are the same. Athletic knew how to make the most of their chances. The 4-1 says it all but the penalty was decisive. Maybe we could have recovered form a 1-0 but the 2-0 made everthing very complicated. Nothing matters now but the next game.
