When asked if the loss will affect his transfer targets, the Spaniard said: “Maybe, but I think we are a big team and I think Arsenal are a big name in the football world.
“It is not the moment to speak about that. We need to analyse, speak to the players and the club.
“We are in one process and we need in this process to be strong in our idea, strong in our way, and that's the reason why we started this season to get more competitive like a team, get closer to the other teams. And we've done that.
“At the moment it's not enough for our target, but the next week, the next year, we'll continue with that in mind.

“The club is working to improve also and to take all we need to improve and to do our way. And also we have a lot of players with the possibility to improve and grow up with us. I am positive for our future, creating our way and getting better in our way.
“We have good, big players with experience and some young players. Next year with this experience behind us we'll take even more.
“I think this year we've used to be closer to the other teams. But next year we need the same players, the same idea, maybe also to add some new players to give us some situations we can improve.
“But it's the same way as this year, just to take one more step. A lot of players who have played their first year with us can get better and give more in performance for us.”
