At 3 am on August 16th, Real Betis drew 1-1 with Girona in the first round of La Liga. Real Betis coach Pellegrini was interviewed by the media after the game.
Pellegrini said: “I’m not happy with the result, we had a lot of scoring opportunities and could have ended the game early, but we didn’t take them. Overall, I’m happy with the team’s performance and attitude, but we dropped two points at home.”
Asked if Girona’s goal was a handball, Pellegrini replied: “I don’t know if it was a handball, the ball hit his arm, some people claimed it was handball, but it was dismissed, so it’s a goal. More importantly, Girona created chances. We could have settled the game at 2-0 in the first half, we hit the post, but we didn’t convert, and in the end they punished us.”
