    • 20:55 Philippe Montanier: "It (the 2-2 draw with Barca) was a good game and we played well, especially in the second half. But that game is over. Now the most important thing is the match against Sevilla."
    • 20:55 Marcelino García Toral: "Real are a team coming off a good performance, and will come into this one with high spirits because it's not easy getting a result against Barca. We will see that they are a competitive team that never gives up and forces us to make a great effort."
    • 20:50 Borja Viguera is unavailable for the match against Sevilla after failing to regain fitness, midfielder Bergara is also unavailable for the match against Marcelino's men.
