“They played fantastically in front of their supporters, and we lost because they were the better side in the 1^st match,” admitted Emery.

“It was a very important lesson of the difficulties that we will face in the Europa Conference League.”

Unai added that both clubs will give their best in the upcoming clash as both want to finish in the 1^st place and advance to the knockout phase of the tournament, as each winner in the group stage will play 2 fewer matches.
