Osasuna’s struggles away from El Sadar persist, with the team still unable to secure three points on the road. The renewal of Vicente Moreno’s contract is looming, and the team’s lackluster performance as a visitor has raised concerns. A penalty conceded by Torró proved to be the decisive factor, and Osasuna was unable to recover.
At the post-match press conference, Vicente Moreno analyzed the defeat, saying, “We’ve had our moments, and we started the game strongly, outplaying our opponents. However, Celta made some adjustments and took control of the game.” He also acknowledged, “We’re frustrated – we lacked forcefulness and only managed to create a single scoring chance. We needed to do much more, especially towards the end of the game when we had to push for a tie, but we couldn’t make it happen.”
The team’s away record is a major concern, with Moreno commenting, “We’ve come to a tough stadium, and we’ve been drawing a lot of games. We need to win, and we will have to work together to reverse this situation.” Massanasa echoed this sentiment, stating, “We can’t stay in this situation, especially considering our statistics as visitors.”
The penalty that decided the game was a pivotal moment, with Moreno saying, “There was contact, and it could have gone either way. The referee had a good game, and we can’t argue with the decision.” Iago Aspas converted the penalty, and Moreno praised the player, saying, “He’s a motivating factor for the team, and he plays with a lot of intensity and decisiveness.”
Despite the setback, Osasuna is still in touch with the European spots, and Moreno remains positive, saying, “When you lose, it feels like you’re far away, but we’re still level on points. We need to focus on the next game against Valencia and aim to get three points.” The team’s away form is a worry, with only one win on the road this season, and the fans are starting to lose hope of a European push. With four months since their last away win, Osasuna needs to turn things around quickly to keep their ambitions alive.
