"The second, against FC Barcelona, we tried to do the best we could. And in the last two, the other day we played very well and in this one, we had some good moments.
"At times we struggled to get into the rhythm we're used to in order to win. We're a good team, we know we're going to get better. It was a shame, but we have to keep going."

Bilbao claimed a 2-0 win over Palmas in their last meeting in La Liga with the match taking place at Estadio Gran Canaria on 10 March.
