As you can imagine, it\u2019s not easy for me to write these lines. The truth is this is a new and strange situation for me, not easy to assimilate, but we learn from everything. I know that, in football, we see things like these every week, but obviously what hurts more is that my team-mates had to fight with ten men for a long time. I have the feeling that both decisions were rigorous; that, in many occasions, we see more serious fouls that are not penalised in such a way, but at the same time I could have avoided them and I take responsibility. It also leaves me with a bad taste for the supporters who travelled to the stadium, and for those who were watching the game from home, but I must carry on as always and from now on I\u2019m already focused on the next game, the derby against Liverpool in the Europa League. In this sport there\u2019s no time for celebrations or moaning, and after last Wednesday\u2019s joy for the win and the goal against Watford, now I have to go through a more bitter experience. That\u2019s the way it is. What matters is to move forward and to always learn from each situation. And so I will.<\/p>\n<p>The team was in a good shape. I hope this blot won\u2019t make us forget that we were on the right track, and that we have to keep believing in ourselves to achieve the goals that are still in our minds from now until the end of the season.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s it for today. I take responsibility in the good and the bad moments, as I\u2019ve always done and I will always do. Thank you very much for your support.<\/p>\n<div><img src='\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/jm-firma.png' alt='Juan Mata'><p>Juan<\/p><\/div>\n<p>PS: I\u2019d like to give my condolences to the family and friends of Gaspar Rosety, who sadly passed away this weekend.
