Manager Mathejo said:
"I am very impressed with our good start to the season.
We managed to qualify to the Final Group stages of the CL
without much fuss.
Our league form is also good, I'm seeing a much more resilient
side to my team. We're not giving up when we go a goal down.
We have come from behind in 2 consecutive games now to win.
My new signings Perea, Mascherano, Yeste are very impressively
contributing. The other new boys are also doing well.
Hopefully we will continue our good form."
