After seeing his side go down 4-2 at Barcelona, Mallorca coach Gregorio Manzano lamented the last five minutes of the first half.

Having equalized earlier, the visitors conceded two goals late in the half to trail 3-1 at the break. Speaking to Marca after the match, Manzano said, "They won the game in the last five minutes of the first half."

"We did well to equalize, and we were causing them some problems. In the Camp Nou, if you open up, you run the risk of suffering a rout.

"I am pleased with our work and attitude, and we can leave with our heads held high."
