Real Betis midfielder Isco reflected on their 2-1 win against Fiorentina in the Europa Conference League semifinal. The team was 2-0 ahead thanks to goals from Ez Abde and Antony, but Fiorentina pulled one back in the first leg.
Isco said they are happy with the result, despite not getting the bigger win they were hoping for. "We're happy with the win, it was important to win at home," he said. "We created many chances, but Fiorentina scored a goal, which made the result not as big as we wanted."
Isco acknowledged that Fiorentina are a strong team and that Betis performed well. "We played a great match, we deserved the win, and we're happy with the result," he said. "It's a bittersweet feeling because we wanted to win by a bigger margin, but we're in the semifinals of a European competition, and it's not easy."
Isco also talked about the strong bond he shares with the Betis fans. "When they appreciate the work I do, I'm happy. I'm happy that I make them happy, and that's what football is all about," he said. "I'm enjoying it a lot, and the love we have for each other is mutual."
Isco expressed his excitement about the team's progress in Europe and their ambition to achieve more. "We're happy for the victory and for taking another step in Europe, which is important for the club's growth. And we always want more."
