Maresca was impressed with Isco's performance, saying that he has a unique quality that sets him apart from others.

When asked about the game, Maresca explained that he expected the first half to be challenging due to the difference in rest time between the two teams. Chelsea played on Sunday, while Betis played on Friday.

Maresca stated that his team adjusted their strategy at halftime and performed better in the second half, ultimately leading to their victory.
