Bordalas: If Getafe are a defensive team then I don't know what football is Europa League Delighted with the win

Jose Bordalas came out fighting after Getafe eliminated Ajax to progress in the Europa League on Thursday evening.

The Dutch side won 2-1 on the night but the Spaniards advanced on away goals, and they had more chances to kill the game off.

"We had to endure accusations all week," Bordalas said during his post-match press conference.

"They heated things up, saying bad things about us.

"But today we proved ourselves. We hit the woodwork three times, we scored and had a goal ruled out.

"If that's a defensive team then I don't know what football is."

Getafe are enjoying a historic season under Bordalas, though he admits that it hasn't quite hit him yet.

"After an hour we'll be more aware [of how historic the night is]," he added.

"It's big for our history but especially against a club like Ajax.

"I'm super happy. We have to congratulate the fans who made the trip."
