"We would have liked to have had more control of the game, but things don't always pan out the way you would like"

The head coach of Sevilla FC, Julen Lopetegui, evaluated the victory against Granada: "It was a difficult, complex and even game. They had very little joy and we played well. We lost a bit of control in the second half; we had chances to kill off the game but we didn't take them".

The players showed great confidence on the pitch: "We have a very competitive team and we always try to put out our best possible XI".

Lopetegui once again underlined the importance of not conceding goals: "We come out with another clean sheet and they didn't have many clear goal-scoring opportunities. In this sense of the game, we did very well. We would have liked to have had more control, but things don't always pan out the way you would like".

Talking about the injury to Reguilón, Lopetegui was optimistic: "He seems to be fine, but we will have to wait and see".
