Pellegrini praised his team's overall performance, saying they went out to win the game from the start and didn't let Girona take control. He noted that Girona was on a difficult run and lacked confidence, making it essential to make them feel like Betis was there to win.

Pellegrini expressed his pride in the team's enthusiasm and ambition, particularly considering they are competing on two fronts this season. He mentioned that the team had just played and qualified for the next round, which can be mentally draining, but the entire squad responded positively. The coach aims to go as high as possible in the standings.

Pellegrini was also asked about Antony, the Manchester United loanee who scored for Betis. He said that the team will see what happens next season regarding Antony's future, but for now, they have to focus on the present and their upcoming game against Valladolid.
