" I have to congratulate the players despite not having won, the team responded with character. FC Barcelona has left a very good image in Riazor. I have seen a mental reaction from some players, with character and seriousness. The team had to perform the way expected on pitch and this is what I've seen. So I'm happy. The team is on the right track and must continue working. "

" We were only missing a goal because Barça created more occasions. We wanted the win and we have created many occasions, we've just been unable to find a way through. Not many teams walk away with points from Riazor. "

On Saviola - " It was the first game he has started this season and we only have one fit striker. Deportivo played a physical game and I did not want to risk him in the fianl stages of the match. He played well and contributed to the play which resulted in the goal. "
