Pepe Mel held a press conference at the conclusion of the game with the idea that they had lost a match in which they deserved more. "Betis in general is not having a very good run. Nothing is working out for us. At the moment we have no information on Damien. The fact that we didn't win is crazy. We came back twice, we wanted to win, the attitude was good and on this sad night I want to highlight the positive aspects.

Positive aspects: "We have to draw positive conclusions, that's my mission. On Thursday we should have won but we missed two penalties. Today, in the second half, it is unbelievable that what we did didn't earn ourselves a victory. You have to look at the positive side because we have a match on Thursday and on Sunday we play Barcelona at home".

Europa League: "Thursday is going to be different as we switch competitions. We play on Thursday, and Malaga played last Tuesday. I want to focus on the positive things, but we have to work on the bad things. We have to pay the price for having a young team".

Justice: "Speaking of justice in football is stupid because goals are what matters and Malaga scored three. On Thursday we played with ten men and missed two penalties. It has been traumatic. Today we lost in extra time, but we have to pick ourselves up as we have a match on Thursday. We are united and we will come through".

Perquis: "We have no information on Perquis, the doctor is there with him and we will talk later. Hopefully the news will be reassuring and then we will decide".

Concern: "It is hard to win but we are within one match of the other teams. The league break will help us to recover. Today we were short of players and one young lad made his debut today, he faced up to the challenge and did well. We are concerned but we know we have the resources to succeed".
