AND Sevilla FC coach, Julen Lopetegui , highlighted the “merit” of his players for taking Bayern Munich, current European champions, “to the limit” and said he felt “a mixture of sadness and pride” in how his players have competed in the final of the Puskas Arena.” We have lost a final in which we had many hopes . I am sad for the boys because they managed to take the game into extra time and have pushed Bayern to the limit, that has a lot of merit. We had the chance to win the match just in the moment you had to have it, but it couldn’t be, “Lopetegui lamented in statements to Movistar.” We played against a great team , no team has taken him to extra time in the ‘Champions’ and we even had our moment to beat them,” he stressed. “We have to rebuild quickly because in less than 72 hours we have a league game. The logical thing would be for us to play on Monday, but nobody understands it. This doesn’t happen anywhere in the world, only in Spain,” criticized the Nervionense coach.”We accept it, we will prepare it because we have no choice but to endure. We will have a very tough game against Cádiz and we have to change the chip quickly,” added Lopetegui, who had words of encouragement for Youssef En-Nesyri, who had the clearest chances to give the title to the Andalusian team.”He was sad, he is young and obviously he will continue to improve. Football is going to give him revenge and I want to remember that the team is the one that wins and the one that loses . We are sad, but with a mixture of pride that we have shown. In the end It couldn’t be, but we got character, mentality, effort … it’s great after only 12 days of training, “he concluded.
