Real Betis coach Manuel Pellegrini insists their Europa League hopes aren't over after a first-leg 4-1 defeat at Manchester United.

Pellegrini says they're capable of overturning United's lead back home.

He declared, "We competed very well in the first-half. It was a great goal from Antony and the corner finished the game off.

"They were superior towards the end of the game. They could have scored a couple more. The game was decided in five minutes.

"The first-half was even. Once they scored that great goal from Antony - after those two goals - we weren't the team we normally are.

"Once they had a two-goal advantage their confidence went up and up.

"I don't think a knockout game is ever over. It won't be easy. We will try. You have to be calm to try and overcome this situation. There is a big margin but we will give all we can in the second leg."
