Ernesto Valverde He has been resigned at the end of the match for zero goals ahead against the Rangers playing with one more during almost the entire game, but at the same time he has claimed his team’s opportunity to overcome the tie in the second leg that will be played in San Mamés next Thursday. “It is clear that we have played a large part of the game against ten and we have had options to score and we have not marked, including the penalty. This is football, the good thing is to have chances, we have tied to zero and there is a game. The one who wins will happen. Today we have had options and it has not been so, the game has been conditioned by the expulsion, but football is,” has been the first reflection of the coach.
“No opportunity has been lost because the tie would have to be completed in San Mamés. No team solves a tie in a match or us or the Rangers. We must give them the merit they have had to defend with ten. We have had difficulty attacking against ten. We have missed success, sometimes it is hard to open the can. I would have liked to win, there is a game in a week,” he added.

The draw was a good result before starting the match, but the vision changes completely after playing with one more from the 13th minute. “Of course he knows me little, it is normal, if it had happened to the Rangers would also know little, failing a penalty. We have a better result than the one we did in Rome. It has cost us, the Rangers has closed, we could have defined but we have not been right, we have not had clarity,” he said, we have not had clarity.
The rojiblanco team has insisted more for the right wing with Marcos and Iñaki Williams than on the left. “We would have liked to have a better result, we go with a 0-0 and you have to play at home the return. The qualifiers matches must be known to play and decide at the right time. We are not happy because we could have achieved a better result. Let’s see who takes advantage of it”.
