"We lacked efficiency"

Quique considers that Espanyol deserved to score and points out the evolution of the team

Espanyol could not say goodbye to the fans with a positive result as expected. The blue-and-white team lost in a game in which they had the best opportunities, but, as the manager, Quique Sánchez Flores said, the team did not have the success of other matches. "I do not think it's a bitter end. For me sensations are more important beyond the result, of how we started to compete to how we ended up competing. The result is not always fair. We played against a great team that was prepared to play in Europe. We have been a solid opponent and we have had more chances but we did not score any of the six we had. We have lacked the effectiveness we have had in other matches. We were better but we did not score", he said.

Although the team has lost the last three games at home consecutively, Quique has said that "we must take into account the extent of the rivals. There are three teams that could be in the top four. We competed very well and just as there were games that we won without deserving them against Atletico Madrid and today we deserve more ".

"We have a connection with our fans that is not going to be exhausted and we will do our best next season to start in the best way," he said.
