"We made a brutal effort"

Quique Sánchez Flores points out that the first goal of FC Barcelona was unexpected

Espanyol could not beat FC Barcelona in the derby. The white-and-blue coach, Quique Sánchez Flores, has highlighted the effort of his players although he regretted that the first Barça goal was unexpected. "The players made a brutal effort and I think we were within the game imagined. Football is a game of errors and has given a situation that has harmed us, but is part of the game. We are annoyed, but tomorrow we will be better", said Sánchez Flores.

The local coach has remarked that the goal opened the game "in an unexpected way" and added that "mentally has affected us. The team was whole to the goal, which has been unexpected. This team did not give this type of goals throughout the year and today just before this rival has produced this situation".

Despite the loss, Quique commented that "we have 50 points and many reasons to be happy. Learn from the mistakes that will make us grow. Our team fights and knows what to do. The players have worked hard, they have reduced important players and it has not been in those games where they have beaten you".
