Are you going to rest Bellingham?
"It's an option we have. Bellingham recovers quickly and is in good form. Today's training will give us a bettter idea of how the players are doing. But it's an option to give him a rest tomorrow."
Extending LaLiga streak
"We have to be optimistic because the team is fighting. We're in all the competitions and very close. We have the confidence after the experiences we've had in the past, and we can do it."
Team balance
"We have improved this aspect in the collective sense, and I don't think there are any individual defensive failings. For example, against Real Sociedad, Alaba had a good game, but he was unlucky with two touches that led to two goals. In the match statistics we have had very low expected goals. In terms of defensive attitude, we didn't deserve to have conceded four goals. Offensively, we did deserve to score four goals. It's a characteristic of this year's team. We're more effective up front because of Mbappé, who has scored 33 goals. He's been important in that sense, but there's more suffering at the back. It's normal. When you choose one thing, you have to think about it. We're thinking about being more effective and doing a bit more collective work defensively."
More opportunities for Endrick and Güler
"They're going to get them just as they have in recent games, where they have performed very well. They have shown that they can help the team at a crucial moment."
Possible UEFA sanction against Rüdiger
"We have to wait, nothing is going to happen, and surely Rüdiger will be able play on Tuesday."
Cup final against Barcelona
"We're delighted to be playing in a big final and to be very close to another objective. The fans are the fans, and they can say what they want. Barcelona are playing very well, they're on very good form. In a final, you have to respect all your opponents. There is a lot of respect for Barcelona, just as Barcelona respects Real Madrid."
Are you going to ask to leave the club?
"I'm not going to ask to leave this club."
Is Barcelona allowed to do things that other clubs are not?
"That's not a question for me. You have to ask other people and not talk about this issue."
Does the Dani Olmo case adulterate the competition?
"No, I don't think so."
Clubs' responses to the Dani Olmo case
"There is freedom of opinion and freedom of whether someone wants to speak or doesn't want to speak."
Trial
"It was a new experience and nothing more. Now we have to wait for the judge's sentence."
