Ahead of facing Girona, Baraja expanded on comments that he'd like a Ferrari but is "driving a Skida".

He said: "Sometimes it makes me laugh. I said Skoda in my answer after the game against Real Sociedad, because it is a car with good performance.. We are a combative, hard-working team, which in the end is what that car represents for me. I find it curious that it was taken the other way.

"It's the car I use every day. We would like to work logically with the intention of being able to be and look further up the table.

"I was fortunate to be in a successful Valencia CF side. Now it is different and we have to try to manage it as best as possible, have that ambition and demand that makes us get back to -or get closer to- those times. It's difficult, and you know that nowadays budgets greatly determine the possibilities of teams. That would be my wish. Let's see if, with the passage of time and as part of our process, we can reduce that gap to those other teams and be among the best."
