After a goal and an assist Saúl Ñíguez spoke after the win against Girona: "We are happy not just with the win but how we got it. It was intense, solid work and we knew that in the first half, despite the result, we were doing well. We had the penalty, and the chances for Vargas and Lukebakio. We were doing well and we saw a team, we can see where we can continue working and growing together. We have done things very well, the tactical work has been very good. We are going home very happy for the victory and for the way we achieved it. Vargas did an immense job, he ended up cramping and that's normal. I told Dodi that the second was his turn and when he is comfortable, so is the team. We are also happy for Ejuke. He's back and that's very good for us. Let him get into a rhythm and make progress because it's very good for us. This could be a turning point, but we don't forget that the most important thing is the next match. We have to put Sevilla where we need to be without thinking beyond that." 

Top scorer this season, Dodi Lukebakio, also spoke: “I feel very good because we won. It was not an easy game but we did very well and I am proud of the team. I am also happy for scoring such an important goal, but honestly, I think it was not my best game. I have to work harder to play my best, but the important thing today was to help the team get the three points. We showed a good mentality. It's the way to go, because sometimes you can't show your football but it's important to be together and fight to get the victories." To finish, Lokogna spoke: a"We have a team with potential and this is the mentality we must maintain. Today we had the chance to come back and we did. Sevilla tells us to never give up and that's the mentality we showed today. At home, with our fans, we will have a very good atmosphere and we will play with 12."
