The Las Palmas coach analyzed the game, emphasizing the need to learn from the experience. However, despite the positives from the team, it wasn't enough to secure any points, leaving them feeling hurt.

Martínez highlighted that these matches are of the highest level and demand, and that mistakes can be very costly. Nonetheless, he is pleased with the team's effort and reflects positively on the last four games he has overseen.

Here are some of his remarks:

 "We will have to wait 48 hours to see how Jasper evolves."

 "The team started well, with good ball circulation. When you concede errors, the talent you face will clearly punish you."

 "I think we did quite a few things well, but not enough. We leave feeling hurt because we came with the intention of winning, or at least to earn a point. But it gives us many lessons. To win these types of matches, we need to improve in many areas."

 "The attitude, soul, and spirit have been very good. There were situations where the team did not give up. The result speaks volumes; they were better, and we congratulate them."

 "I am happy with the last four games, but not so much with today's match because we wanted all three points."

 "Everyone was engaged, and clearly, we need to keep building while walking on it. We are optimistic, and I believe the team is progressing."

 "Manu (Fuster) is a great professional; he is hurt, just like his family. His professionalism is evident, and in Manu's case, it’s clear that he has feelings. Football takes a backseat at this moment."

 "It wasn't our best game in terms of certain aspects. We struggled against a great rival. The balance is very positive for the matches we’ve played this week, with attention focused on what we need to improve. It’s clear that these matches are of the highest level and demand, and mistakes can be very punishing."
