What managers say

Petar Vasiljevic: "We will not give up until the end, until it's mathematically impossible [to stay up in La Liga]. I said we would go out and try to win the match [against Real Sociedad] – we took the lead and had further chances, but in front of us there is a strong team who are very well organised and have an attacking threat. We were perhaps a little bit unlucky – Jaime's shot at the end was stopped by the goalkeeper and the crossbar between them, but that's football and we must move on." [via Football Espana]

Zinedine Zidane: "I'm happy with [Isco] but I do think that he can give a little more. He is doing well and he is a decisive player for us. I don't want to talk about his future, we are just focused on what is happening now. He is an important part of our squad this season." [via Marca]
