After losing to Atletico Madrid, Betis midfielder Lo Celso said in an interview with Movistar that the opponent's early goal boosted their confidence. If the team could score earlier, the game might be different.

About this game

- An early goal gave the opponent confidence, but we faced greater difficulties. Although we created some chances during the game, Baena's goal before the end of the first half hit us hard. We had several chances to narrow the deficit in the second half.

About the timing of the goal

-Yes, they scored at a critical moment and led 2-0 at halftime. In the second half we tried to change things with strength, will and performance. Had they scored an earlier goal to make it 1-2, the game might have been different, but they did their job and earned the three points.

About the team's failure to score in two consecutive games

- We have maintained a good scoring momentum before, but failed to do so today. We need to pay more attention to detail on the offensive end and I'm proud of the team's effort and fighting until the very end. The fans filled the stadium on a rainy Monday night and it was touching. Now we have to turn the page and move on.
