> “If four months ago they had told me that we were going to get through a knockout round, I wouldn’t have believed it, and on top of that we have gotten through two (against Amorebieta and then Espanyol). It is a huge joy.”

Fierro also joked that the two teams should meet every year after being paired together for the second season running.

> “We have to establish this match as a Christmas match. Last year it was on January 7th and this year it will seem like it will be on the 4th or 5th. They should come to Barbastro and have a good time. Then we will compete against them as we did last year,” he added.

> “It is an important help for a modest budget like ours. With the collaboration of the entities and the support of the fans, who I am convinced will fill the stadium, we will save the season financially.”
