Unai Emery: "We Honorably Played against "Barcelona"

“Sevilla” head coach Unai Emery said after the lost match to “Barcelona” (4:5) that his team played suitably and despite the lose, he is satisfied with his team.

Unai Emery: “when the score was 1:4, we did not expect much, we said to achieve more in the remaining time. Then we scored one goal, then another and became self-confidence. The team believed in their abilities, we equalized and hoped to win the match. Of course, it is difficult to miss a goal after this, however we had a chance to equalize the score at the end of the match.

-What would you highlight from the game of your team?

-The most important was to show a good game and to make sure that we can play equally with the higher-level team. I would tell “Sevilla” fans that they should always believe in the team.

-What is the mood after the match?

-Of course, we wanted to win, however it did not happen. I am satisfied with the game.

-Did “Barcelona” win deservedly?

- We also had chances at the end of the game. It would be good to move the game to a penalty shootout. “Barcelona” is the strongest team in the world and it is good when you play against such team equally.

-What do you think, will you ever be able to stop Messi, who scored 24 goals against “Sevilla” during his career…

-I want to congratulate Messi this victory. He has a unique opportunity and plays at the highest level over the years. It takes great effort and he has done a great work. Will we be able to stop him? Let’s wait and see what happens.

-Are you satisfied with the team’s play before the start of the Championship?

-Today, the first step was made in order to play successfully in the next season. Today we laid the foundation for a successful game and when the injured players return to us, we will play better.
