Are you worried about El Clásico after this match?
Don’t worry about El Clásico. We will prepare well and perform strongly.

Does El Clásico decide the champion?
No, it’s not as simple as saying whoever wins becomes champion. The title race largely depends on this match, but it’s not definitive.

What happened after leading 3-0 that led to conceding two goals?
We all thought the game was over after the three-goal lead, and Arda almost scored a fourth.

Why did you substitute Asensio, weakening the defense?
I substituted Asensio because he couldn’t continue. We were missing six defenders, and the coaching staff can’t always compensate for such absences. However, we could have managed better.

Will the starting lineup for El Clásico be the same? Will Arda start?
Our lineup is clear. Rodrygo had a slight fever but should recover in time for El Clásico. We have a week.
