What managers say

Jose Luis Mendilibar: "It's a fair result because all three goals were valid, they put them away well. At the end of the day, Atletico [Madrid] force you to make mistakes and they know how to take advantage of them. In the league the same thing happened. It seems as though you are playing well and competing and then they beat you soundly. It's a tough result to take back to Eibar." [via AS]

Luis Enrique: "I have excellent players in [midfield], all of them bring something to the team in attack and defence, but I have never seen anybody like Andres Iniesta. But I have great options; lots of good midfielders. It's the area of the team where I have most options, so it doesn't change [the planning too much] because regardless of the players we have out there, we always have the same objectives." [via ESPN]
