Over the moon with victory this Sunday against Girona FC in the Sánchez-Pizjuán, Sergio Rico declared himself happy to the media: "On a personal level but above all else for the team because we needed three points in the league. Today we were able to endure a lot but the important thing is the three points and that these matches, after they're through, you look at the table. It was important to win again and pick up points in the league. So we're very happy because the team feels like winners again".
On a personal note, he confessed that on Aday, whose penalty Rico saved: "We had no information, it was intuition". He went on to thank the fans for chanting his name: "It's an honour. It's what I've always done, work and speak on the field, I'll keep doing that. I'm happy to have helped the team", he said.
