"We had chances to cause them problems but we lacked precision in the final pass" he noted

Sevilla FC coach Julen Lopetegui spoke to club media after the defeat for the white and reds in the last sixteen of the Copa del Rey against Real Betis. "In terms of the game, we are sad after being eliminated. It was an even game despite our difficult circumstances. Away from the football, I condemn the violent and despicable act from a crazy person that is clearly not a supporter of Betis but today Jordán was not able to play because yesterday he was attacked and that is where the focus has to be."

"We had chances to cause them problems but we lacked precision in the final pass. With barely any chances they scored the second" he added.

Lopetegui finished by saying that "today is a sad day, a bitter pill to swallow but we have to digest it and look ahead to the next La Liga game."
