Callejon: "We regarded this match as an important test"

Callejon scored again against Athletic Bilbao. The midfielder and Arbeloa shared their thoughts on the match in the mixed zone.

Callejon
"Both teams gave a great performance tonight. Athletic played entertaining football, but we also created fast transitions and showcased spark and speed. It would have been better if they hand't scored, but we did well and played good football, proving we pull through when things look complicated."

"We're all here to help, both on the pitch and from the bench. Today we had to refresh the team with speed and drive. I was lucky because Higuain served me a great assist. We regarded this match as an important test. We took points and remain leaders. We'll have to start working on winning the Copa tie tomorrow."

Arbeloa
"It was a very important match, and it was complicated too. We covered a lot of ground to win, but something that characterises us is how we fight for a victory. You can win or lose, but we want to erase the image we left the other day."
