Even with Carlos Soler's late dismissal, La Real held on to win at Anoeta.
Matarazzo said afterwards: “We were focused for the full 90 minutes and our performance was fantastic. There were times in the game when we had to defend, which is necessary to win. Sometimes we created danger, and sometimes we had to suffer.”
On Barcelona hitting the post five times over the course of the match, he also said: "Today we might have been lucky, although having a great goalkeeper (Alex Remiro) isn't luck, but we weren't lucky the other day against Osasuna.
"We were also effective today, and we weren't the other day."
On Remiro, Matarazzo added: “I see Remiro train every day. He’s a great goalkeeper, I knew he could perform like he did today, I’m very happy with him. I think we could have beaten Atlético in my first match.
"I’m very happy with the results and with the faith and heart of this team.”
