García Pimienta addressed the media after the match at Heliodoro Rodríguez López, following the loss against CD Tenerife, stating, "We've competed in all the matches, not today, and I don't understand it. We didn't measure up."
Here are some of his statements:
"In the first half, they overpowered us. It wasn't about gameplay, but intensity. In the Copa, there are always surprises, with lower-tier teams advancing. What's most upsetting is how we got knocked out."
"If we had scored, the game might have changed. Tenerife had a two-goal advantage, and it was very difficult. We improved in the second half, but it wasn't enough to mount a comeback," added the Catalan coach.
"Abou had a good game, he's a very talented guy. We didn't take advantage in the first half; it's very difficult when you're trailing 2-0."
"Against Barça, we played a very demanding match, and we're not accustomed to playing every three days."
