Arrasate later expressed his satisfaction with the team's performance, stating, "It's a fantastic win that was not only necessary but also deserved and meritorious. Despite making eight changes to the lineup, the players showed great understanding of our game plan and executed it perfectly. Ultimately, it was not me who was right, but them, for their excellent interpretation of our tactics."

Real Mallorca coach Jagoba Arrasate was delighted with victory over Real Sociedad on Tuesday night.AdvertisementAdvertisement

"We have the squad for it and there are still some who have not participated much who will. It's a team victory that gives us a different feeling because of the rival, because of how we played and because it was at home. 

"Playing a good match against a great rival and with your fans was necessary. It's a victory that will give us confidence. These are the things that happen in football. Three days ago I was here feeling terribly upset and now I'm happy.

"This is what football is like and we have to keep going. Now we have three games away from home, but if we continue at today's level I'm sure we can get good results away from home. That's the objective."

On Sergi Darder's performance, he added: "He enjoyed playing a great match, he defended and attacked well. Sergi suits a special ecosystem, he can play in many positions depending on the system. He played a good match and I'm happy for him."
