00:00Pep was just calling your team one of the best teams in the world and that he was happy
00:04to get a point after such a crazy up-and-down game. What's your reflections on it?
00:09They are probably the best team in the world, that's my reaction.
00:13We had a very difficult start in the first 10-15 minutes. We were struggling in two occasions
00:17to control certain spaces and we didn't have enough ability to get out of the first 25-30
00:23metres of the pitch, which meant that we never controlled the game. After that we started
00:27to understand better what we had to do, we were much more efficient, we came back on
00:32the game, winning it and we had the best moment. Obviously we were thrown to a context of the
00:36game that makes it almost impossible for 56 minutes. But anyway, we adapted to that context
00:43in the best possible way and the way the team competes is just unbelievable. I'm so proud
00:48of them. You cannot be thrown away in a more difficult situation against that kind of opponent
00:55and the way we deal with it, the way we handle the situation is unbelievable. I'm so proud of them.
