Abdón, Cyle Larin, Robert Navarro and Jagoba Arrasate were on post-match media duties to analyse our 2-1 win against Valencia CF. Find out what they had to say about the comeback below: 

Abdón Prats: 

On coming on: Very happy and happy for healthy victory. We deserved two victories in a row after the defeats we had. Happy to be able to help his team.

On his goal: Healthy connection between Sergi and me is special. We have played since we were kids, it shows and without looking at the ball we already know that the other side is stretched to the other side. I have finished off with all my heart and head adins. Its three golden points.

On the win at home: Its really very important. Bocado we have to make strong din can our and well, now comes the Barça Tuesday and it will not be easy, we will have to compete very well. 

On 24 points: It is something incredible. Bocado deserve it with the work they have been doing all these years and this year we have started in the best way. We have to be ambitious and we have to go for their victory. We have to continue with this line.

Cyle Larin: 

On the game: We played well although we were unlucky with Mojica's handball. We kept fighting, we grew little by little until I made it 1-1 and Abdón scored the winning goal. I'm happy for the team.

On the goal: The goal before the break was very important to gain confidence. We are very good at home and you saw that today.

On three games in one week: This game was important to motivate the team for what is coming. We have to keep training and working hard. 

On the 24 points: I think it's good and I think we can get more. We have to continue with confidence like this every game and we will do very well. 

Jagoba Arrasate:

On the victory: It was a very even match that was very difficult. I think that with two very good actions and with the work of the whole team and the fans we got the three points. 

On Cyle's goal before the break: They were defending well and the goal freed us up a lot. For us to get 24 points is a huge achievement. We have to enjoy the moment as well.  

On the Abdón-Sergi partnership: I think Sergi already knew Abdón's timing, when he comes on to finish. I'm happy for both of them.

On winning at home: Away we were in great numbers but at home we lacked that victory which I think is what we got today. With the loss of Muriqi, the fact that Larin and Abdón scored makes me especially happy. It's a victory for the team and for the fans too. Today is a day to enjoy. 

On Robert Navarro and Mateu Jaume: It was the result of fatigue, typical cramps. Let's hope it's not too much.

Robert Navarro:

On personal feelings: It was cramp after a great effort. Now it's time to recover so that we can be at our best on Tuesday.

On the game: It was a game that wasn't decided either way. With the penalty they took the lead but with two very good actions we managed to come back. 

On what comes after the victory: Now we have to live in the present, Tuesday will be another match. With the fans here it's easier, they make themselves felt. We have to try to win against Barça, which is the most important thing.

On feelings about the season: The truth is that I'm very happy and very grateful. Both to the coach, the staff and the teammates. The day to day is spectacular and I'm enjoying a lot. I really want to keep working and improving. I am very happy and very grateful to the club.
