After witnessing his side secure a hard-fought 1-0 victory, the Chilean manager faced questions regarding Mourinho’s assertion that the home side played primarily for a draw. Pellegrini remained firm in his belief that his team were deserving winners, despite the pressure exerted by the visitors throughout a tense evening in Seville.<\/span><\/p>\nResponding directly to the suggestion that Betis were fortunate, Pellegrini stated: “I don’t make the same analysis because I think the team went out to win from the first minute of the match, trying to find the back of the net against a rival like Real Madrid, which is, of course, a tough opponent,” Pellegrini explained.<\/span><\/p>\n“They had some very dangerous set pieces where Alvaro Valles made three very, very good saves, but in the end, we scored the goal and took the three points against a great rival, in a very hard-fought match that, even if it had ended in a draw, would have been a fair result. So, in that respect, that often happens in football: we capitalized on our chances and they didn’t.”<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
