“We need to lift our heads up, there are important things at stake this season," Muniain said.
“On the 17th we have another final. We will try our best to win it, we owe it to the fans. We will start working tomorrow.
“It was very tight, as we expected, with similar chances for both teams. In the end it was all decided by a penalty.”
