'Even though we created chances, we didn't put them away,' stated the Brazilian

Arana, Sevilla's goalscorer last night against Barcelona, attended the Mixed Zone after the end of the game: 'It's hard to speak about it at the moment because we're very sad. We have to keep our head up, we can't stop. We have an important game on Saturday.'

It's difficult to take anything away from such a game like last night's at the Camp Nou: 'The result has no explanation, we have to keep working. We knew it would be complicated. We have to keep working because we have an important game in the league on Saturday and we're doing well in it.'

The team had a difficult start to the second half: 'We had chances but we didn't finish them, that's football. Their goalkeeper was really good. We weren't able to convert our chances.'

After the goal, it seemed like there was a chance we could qualify: 'We players always want the best for our fans but today, for all the chances we created, we couldn't put them away. We have to rest and get back into the swing of things quickly.'

To the hurt fans, he had to say, 'we are also really sad, we had a great chance. I can promise you we are going to get back to winning ways in the league.'
