The Betis coach, the Chilean Manuel Pellegrini, lamented the “opportunities to finish the game” that his team had on Thursday when it won the lowest before drawing Girona (1-1) in a match in which he left ” happy with the performance but lost two points.”
“We had clear chances but we didn’t convert them. Against a Champions League rival, we have to score chances,” lamented Pellegrini after the match played at the Benito Villamarín stadium.
The Santiago coach complained about “a handball claimed by some” in the action of visiting the goal “but it was rejected” after consulting the VAR, although “despite that situation, what is sad is the clear misses opportunity,” which he considers he “punished” Betis.
Manuel Pellegrini expressed his “delight” for the goal of Marc Bartra, who reappeared after nine months due to injury, who “looked back and had a good performance” and also praised Aitor Ruibal, who played at the top because “always” He is a forward and he is versatile. He gave himself and gave what he knew how to give.”
