Biba coach: Garnacho s handball foul before Manchester United won a penalty, and we will not give up early in the second leg

In the first leg of the Europa League semi-finals, Athletic Bilbao lost 0-3 to Manchester United at home. After the game, Athletic Bilbao coach Valverde was interviewed.

Valverde first said: "We failed to cope with the pressure of the first goal conceding, and the subsequent red card and penalty kick completely changed the game. We performed well when we played 11 and had some opportunities, but we failed to take advantage of the opportunity to score." In the 33rd minute of the game, Manchester United won a penalty, and Athletic Bilbao defender Vivian was sent off with a red card. However, Valverde believes that Garnacho had already made a handball foul when he fell to the ground to receive the ball: "We protested Garnacho's handball before. I think it was indeed a handball, but the game continued. The penalty for penalty and red cards was too severe, which not only led to the score becoming 0-2, but we also had to fight 10 people."

Then Valverde pointed out: "When you lose 0-3, it means that the opponent performs better, and we did not take advantage of our opportunities. Teams like Manchester United will not miss any opportunities, and they also played in the final stages. Very stable. We have to learn from this game."

Valverde continued: "Although the UEFA Cup final this season was held at Athletic Bilbao, it won't give us any advantage. Maguire's foul on Sannadi? It was indeed a foul, but I don't know if it was a red card."

Valverde said: "Obviously, we got a very bad result. But we still have to go all out to the end. Although this result is unfavorable, we will not give up in advance in the next round."
