Rodri speaks to Sky Sports

We feel a bit exhausted to be honest, after a game with that rhythm. It wasn’t our best performance and individually we can look at ourselves, because conceding four goals is not normal for us.

We played the game they wanted. They want to play with quick transitions and are a better team in those situations. We struggled to play our game. We gave the ball away too often and could have been more patient. But we’re a team – we support each other and we’ll move forward. Big credit to Chelsea, they have good players and they put us under pressure.
