"We made Madrid feel uncomfortable"

The defeat at the Bernabéu has left a bitter taste in Rubi. The blue and white coach regretted the bad luck of his players at specific moments to have achieved a better score, but praised "the effort they have made in a field like this".

"It has merit to have created a certain uneasiness for R. Madrid. We have bothered them and I think we have done a good job. It has cost them to find spaces. It is very difficult to come here and have Madrid uncomfortable", he said. "We did a good job closing spaces, although in the first half they made us run a lot because we did not get the ball as much as we wanted”.

In any case, Rubi has admitted that "at times I saw the possibility of achieving something. We had the opportunities of Piatti, Hernán and the clearest after Borja Iglesias. After coming up against us, I thought we could tie, but it's very difficult in a field like this".

The manger said that "I'm leaving with only the idea of the good image we have given. The team showed during many minutes of the second half that we could keep growing. I'm not going to say anything to the players because they lost the match because I think they came out with their heads up and I give credit to that".
