"Granada have yet to lose and they are looking solid at the back, they have the stamp of their coach. We need to get points at home. Tomorrow's game is key despite it coming so early in the season", said Ernesto Valverde.
Meanwhile, Granada manager Joaquín Caparrós spoke about his opponents: "They're a side with a style, with fans who put pressure on, in a nice stadium with quality players and a manager who has gotten his players to buy into his work. The proof is in their results".
