Maybe a bit shakier than it needed to be in the second half but nevertheless, very good defensive effort from La Real. Something that isn’t usually consistent, but today one big chance let in throughout the second half.
Le Normand was fantastic. Put everything on the line tonight. Elustondo was fantastic as well. Munoz too.
Mikel Merino what a player. And the first half performance as well, but that goes without saying.
