The Spaniard received a red card after fouling Klavan in the 70th minute, but he apologized after the match.
Chelsea manager Conte declared:
“I am sorry and the player is. I am sorry for him and the Liverpool player. In this period, it is easy to go too late into a tackle. I know Fàbregas is a good man and a good boy and he is not the type of player to have this situation. I am sorry for him and to the Liverpool player.
“When two great teams face in this game nobody wants to lose and for this season. We saw a competitive game between two teams that didn’t want to lose. I am pleased for my team because I saw the right spirit, I saw a lot of positive things.
“But I know and my players know that when we have the ball we have to build. But I am pleased. And when we played with 10 men we did not suffer despite one man less. I saw a lot of positive things. Don’t forget we are having two training sessions a day. There was a good attitude. We can improve".
