Julen Lopetegui spoke to the media after the win against Athletic Club. The Sevilla FC boss, who was very satisfied with his team's performance, commented that "it was a well-deserved victory up against tough opponents that force you to be at the top of your game. Overall, we deserved the win and we are pleased to have gotten the three points, meaning we have reached the seventy point mark for the second season running. In the end we have just missed out on third position, but we have done our job and there are positive things to think about." 

The Sevilla boss didn't forget to mention the support from the fans nor the goalkeeping acalade achieved by Bono: "The fans behaved themselves. Ten out of ten. They have backed the team when we have been on a tough run and I believe that achieving Champions League football is the best way to thank them. The fans have made the difference on many occasions, without a doubt. Bono's award is well-earned and embodies the collective effort. The award goes to a well-deserving and commited individual."
