His goal didn't end up being the winner, but was enough to claim an important point in Vallecas. Suso, after the game, recognised that "this is a difficult place to play and they always press you from the outset. I think that in the first half we connected well and stayed firm, but in the second half we lacked composure and cool heads when we got back into shape. However, I think that we are improving and you can see that." 

On his own performance, he said that he was playing better: "I needed continuity in the team to get more comfortable and I think that I am playing well. On PSV: "It was a good result, but like we scored three goals, they can do the same. They have good players and I am sure it will be a difficult test there."

On the day of his long-awaited return, Alex Telles notes how he felt "thankful to have returned and done well, still healthy at the end of it, and yet not 100% happy, because we ended the game thinking that we could have won but also could have lost. It is a difficult ground to come to, and playing every three days is tough. We did well, especially in the first half, but we are contenting bringing a point back to Seville."

Moreover, his return saw him start as a centre-back: "Given the circumstances and having been out for almost three months, it was better to be playing inside and not on the wing. We all give everything we have and Acuña helps us a lot. I have prepared a lot, I have worked hard and I was good in the first half. In the second I was more tired, but now it is time to rest because on Thursday we have got to be ready."

The last player to speak to the media was Yassine Bono: "The match was not bad, it was a good first half. In the second half after they scored we were made to suffer for some minutes, but in general we stayed on the right path and have showed how we are improving. The improvement is about more than the result, even if that defines how we are judged. From my position at the back, you can see that the team is understanding how the game is developing at different points. We were quick to latch onto loose ball, and this is an improvement. We have to keep this hard-work up if we want to be able to enjoy ourselves. In Eindhoven we have to make the most of our lead and go there being true to our style of play, wanting to attack and win."
