Mallorca, Aguirre: "We showed our game and our limits, the team has improved.

"The team has been sincere, we have shown our limits and our game. It is true that they have hurt us, but on the level of finishing we are missing something. Compared to the beginning of the championship the team has improved in the technical aspects. This game leaves me one very good feeling.

"The only thing that matters is the goal. I don't know if we came out stronger, but I know that we are a team that plays openly. We kept them there until the end and for this I am satisfied.

"From whoever the compliments come, they are appreciated. But we cannot relax, I have already made it clear in the locker room. We are a team that can lose to anyone. Luis Aragonés said that everything is decided in the last ten games and he was not wrong. We have to think about scoring points with every opponent."
