A strong comeback

Hidalgo said he was “very happy” for the team and their supporters, arguing that the players “made a brutal effort” to stay in the game and compete until the end. “The fans make an abysmal difference for us,” he added, explaining that the crowd “pushed us and kept us going,” which is why he felt positive about the point.

Casadó injury update

The coach also addressed Marc Casadó’s injury. “They have to run tests and we’ll see the extent of it, but the truth is that it looks bad,” Hidalgo said, according to Mundo Deportivo.
