Williot Swedberg struck for Celta, but Real ranout 2-1 winners thanks to goals from Kylian Mbappe and Vinicius Jr. Afterwards, Giraldez insisted Celta deserved more from the game.
They stood up to the challenge:
“I am angry because I want to win and for everything we do to be reflected in the result. At the same time, I feel proud because the team is recognisable every weekend , it tries to dominate the games. It doesn't matter that we have the Madrid crest in front of us, the Atlético crest, the Athletic crest, we are playing a leading role in every game and I am proud of how we compete.”
Aspects to improve:
“I think we have to adjust many transition situations, defending in a medium block to avoid rivals with these characteristics being able to run us down as much as they did in the first half. And then score. The first goal hurt us too much. Both goals are avoidable.”
Missed chances:
“It is also thanks to Madrid's great goalkeeper . We have created many chances and we have not had that bit of luck in the three games that have slipped away from us, like Villarreal, Atlético and Real Madrid.”
Attitude of players:
“I think that is the way and we have to keep insisting, cranking up what we are doing every day. I am very happy with the work, always with nuances, and annoyed because we do all that to be able to win. The results will come and I am proud that whoever wins, the people will do very well and help us.”
